DEVICE OVERVIEW
This document contains device-specific information for

the following devices:
PIC18F66J60
PIC18F87J60
PIC18F66J65
PIC18F96J60
PIC18F67J60
PIC18F96J65
PIC18F86J60
PIC18F97J60
PIC18F86J65
This family introduces a new line of low-voltage devices
with the foremost traditional advantage of all PIC18
microcontrollers namely, high computational performance and a rich feature set at an extremely
competitive price point. These features make the
PIC18F97J60 family a logical choice for many
high-performance applications where cost is a primary
consideration.
1.1
1.1.1
Core Features
OSCILLATOR OPTIONS AND
FEATURES
All of the devices in the PIC18F97J60 family offer five

different oscillator options, allowing users a range of
choices in developing application hardware. These
options include:
Two Crystal modes, using crystals or ceramic
resonators.
Two External Clock modes, offering the option of
a divide-by-4 clock output.
A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier,
available to the external oscillator modes, which
allows clock speeds of up to 41.667 MHz.
An internal RC oscillator with a fixed 31 kHz
output which provides an extremely low-power
option for timing-insensitive applications.
The internal oscillator block provides a stable reference
source that gives the family additional features for
robust operation:
1.1.2
EXPANDED MEMORY
The PIC18F97J60 family provides ample room for

application code, from 64 Kbytes to 128 Kbytes of code
space. The Flash cells for program memory are rated
to last 100 erase/write cycles. Data retention without
refresh is conservatively estimated to be greater than
20 years.
The PIC18F97J60 family also provides plenty of room
for dynamic application data with 3808 bytes of data
RAM.
1.1.3
EXTERNAL MEMORY BUS
In the unlikely event that 128 Kbytes of memory are

inadequate for an application, the 100-pin members of
the PIC18F97J60 family also implement an External
Memory Bus (EMB). This allows the controllers internal program counter to address a memory space of up
to 2 Mbytes, permitting a level of data access that few
8-bit devices can claim. This allows additional memory
options, including:
Using combinations of on-chip and external
memory up to the 2-Mbyte limit
Using external Flash memory for reprogrammable
application code or large data tables
Using external RAM devices for storing large
amounts of variable data
1.1.4
EXTENDED INSTRUCTION SET
The PIC18F97J60 family implements the optional

extension to the PIC18 instruction set, adding eight
new instructions and an Indexed Addressing mode.
Enabled as a device configuration option, the extension
has been specifically designed to optimize reentrant
application code originally developed in high-level
languages, such as C.
1.1.5
EASY MIGRATION
Regardless of the memory size, all devices share the

same rich set of peripherals, allowing for a smooth
migration path as applications grow and evolve.
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor: This option constantly

monitors the main clock source against a reference
signal provided by the internal oscillator. If a clock
failure occurs, the controller is switched to the
internal oscillator, allowing for continued low-speed
operation or a safe application shutdown.
Two-Speed Start-up: This option allows the
internal oscillator to serve as the clock source
from Power-on Reset, or wake-up from Sleep
mode, until the primary clock source is available.

PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
1.2
Other Special Features
Communications: The PIC18F97J60 family

incorporates a range of serial communication
peripherals, including up to two independent
Enhanced USARTs and up to two Master SSP
modules, capable of both SPI and I2C (Master
and Slave) modes of operation. In addition, one of
the general purpose I/O ports can be reconfigured
as an 8-bit Parallel Slave Port for direct
processor-to-processor communications.
CCP Modules: All devices in the family incorporate
two Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) modules and
three Enhanced CCP (ECCP) modules to maximize
flexibility in control applications. Up to four different
time bases may be used to perform several
different operations at once. Each of the three
ECCP modules offers up to four PWM outputs,
allowing for a total of twelve PWMs. The ECCP
modules also offer many beneficial features,
including polarity selection, programmable dead
time, auto-shutdown and restart and Half-Bridge
and Full-Bridge Output modes.
10-Bit A/D Converter: This module incorporates
programmable acquisition time, allowing for a
channel to be selected and a conversion to be
initiated without waiting for a sampling period and
thus, reducing code overhead.
Extended Watchdog Timer (WDT): This
enhanced version incorporates a 16-bit prescaler,
allowing an extended time-out range. See
Section 28.0 Electrical Characteristics for
time-out periods.

Details on Individual Family

Members
Devices in the PIC18F97J60 family are available in

64-pin, 80-pin and 100-pin packages. Block diagrams
for the three groups are shown in Figure 1-1,
Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3.
The devices are differentiated from each other in four
ways:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Flash program memory (three sizes, ranging

from 64 Kbytes for PIC18FX6J60 devices to
128 Kbytes for PIC18FX7J60 devices).
A/D channels (eleven for 64-pin devices, fifteen
for 80-pin pin devices and sixteen for 100-pin
devices).
Serial communication modules (one EUSART
module and one MSSP module on 64-pin
devices, two EUSART modules and one MSSP
module on 80-pin devices and two EUSART
modules and two MSSP modules on 100-pin
devices).
I/O pins (39 on 64-pin devices, 55 on 80-pin
devices and 70 on 100-pin devices).
All other features for devices in this family are identical.

These are summarized in Table 1-1, Table 1-2 and
Table 1-3.
The pinouts for all devices are listed in Table 1-4,
Table 1-5 and Table 1-6.

2.2.1
Power Supply Pins

DECOUPLING CAPACITORS
The use of decoupling capacitors on every pair of

power supply pins, such as VDD, VSS, AVDD and
AVSS, is required.
Consider the following criteria when using decoupling
capacitors:
Value and type of capacitor: A 0.1 F (100 nF),
10-20V capacitor is recommended. The capacitor
should be a low-ESR device, with a resonance
frequency in the range of 200 MHz and higher.
Ceramic capacitors are recommended.
Placement on the printed circuit board: The
decoupling capacitors should be placed as close
to the pins as possible. It is recommended to
place the capacitors on the same side of the
board as the device. If space is constricted, the
capacitor can be placed on another layer on the
PCB using a via; however, ensure that the trace
length from the pin to the capacitor is no greater
than 0.25 inch (6 mm).
Handling high-frequency noise: If the board is
experiencing high-frequency noise (upward of
tens of MHz), add a second ceramic type capacitor in parallel to the above described decoupling
capacitor. The value of the second capacitor can
be in the range of 0.01 F to 0.001 F. Place this
second capacitor next to each primary decoupling
capacitor. In high-speed circuit designs, consider
implementing a decade pair of capacitances as
close to the power and ground pins as possible
(e.g., 0.1 F in parallel with 0.001 F).
Maximizing performance: On the board layout
from the power supply circuit, run the power and
return traces to the decoupling capacitors first,
and then to the device pins. This ensures that the
decoupling capacitors are first in the power chain.
Equally important is to keep the trace length
between the capacitor and the power pins to a
minimum, thereby reducing PCB trace
inductance.
2.2.2
TANK CAPACITORS
On boards with power traces running longer than

six inches in length, it is suggested to use a tank capacitor for integrated circuits, including microcontrollers, to
supply a local power source. The value of the tank
capacitor should be determined based on the trace
resistance that connects the power supply source to
the device, and the maximum current drawn by the
device in the application. In other words, select the tank
capacitor so that it meets the acceptable voltage sag at
the device. Typical values range from 4.7 F to 47 F.
DS39762F-page 44
2.3
Master Clear (MCLR) Pin
The MCLR pin provides two specific device

functions: Device Reset, and Device Programming
and Debugging. If programming and debugging are
not required in the end application, a direct
connection to VDD may be all that is required. The
addition of other components, to help increase the
applications resistance to spurious Resets from
voltage sags, may be beneficial. A typical
configuration is shown in Figure 2-1. Other circuit
designs may be implemented, depending on the
applications requirements.
During programming and debugging, the resistance
and capacitance that can be added to the pin must
be considered. Device programmers and debuggers
drive the MCLR pin. Consequently, specific voltage
levels (VIH and VIL) and fast signal transitions must
not be adversely affected. Therefore, specific values
of R1 and C1 will need to be adjusted based on the
application and PCB requirements. For example, it is
recommended that the capacitor, C1, be isolated
from the MCLR pin during programming and
debugging operations by using a jumper (Figure 2-2).
The jumper is replaced for normal run-time
operations.
Any components associated with the MCLR pin
should be placed within 0.25 inch (6 mm) of the pin.

2.4
Voltage Regulator Pins (ENVREG

and VCAP/VDDCORE)
The on-chip voltage regulator enable pin, ENVREG,

must always be connected directly to either a supply
voltage or to ground. Tying ENVREG to VDD enables
the regulator, while tying it to ground disables the
regulator. Refer to Section 25.3 On-Chip Voltage
Regulator for details on connecting and using the
on-chip regulator.
Note that the LF versions of some low pin count

PIC18FJ parts (e.g., the PIC18LF45J10) do not have
the ENVREG pin. These devices are provided with the
voltage regulator permanently disabled; they must
always be provided with a supply voltage on the
VDDCORE pin.
FIGURE 2-3:
When the regulator is enabled, a low-ESR (< 5)

capacitor is required on the VCAP/VDDCORE pin to
stabilize the voltage regulator output voltage. The
VCAP/VDDCORE pin must not be connected to VDD and
must use a capacitor of 10 F connected to ground. The
type can be ceramic or tantalum. Suitable examples of
capacitors are shown in Table 2-1. Capacitors with
equivalent specifications can be used.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR CERAMIC
CAPACITORS
In recent years, large value, low-voltage, surface-mount

ceramic capacitors have become very cost effective in
sizes up to a few tens of microfarad. The low-ESR, small
physical size and other properties make ceramic
capacitors very attractive in many types of applications.
Ceramic capacitors are suitable for use with the
VDDCORE voltage regulator of this microcontroller.
However, some care is needed in selecting the capacitor to ensure that it maintains sufficient capacitance
over the intended operating range of the application.
Typical low-cost, 10 F ceramic capacitors are available
in X5R, X7R and Y5V dielectric ratings (other types are
also available, but are less common). The initial tolerance specifications for these types of capacitors are
often specified as 10% to 20% (X5R and X7R), or
-20%/+80% (Y5V). However, the effective capacitance
that these capacitors provide in an application circuit will
also vary based on additional factors, such as the
applied DC bias voltage and the temperature. The total
in-circuit tolerance is, therefore, much wider than the
initial tolerance specification.
The X5R and X7R capacitors typically exhibit satisfactory temperature stability (ex: 15% over a wide
temperature range, but consult the manufacturer's data
sheets for exact specifications). However, Y5V capacitors typically have extreme temperature tolerance
specifications of +22%/-82%. Due to the extreme
temperature tolerance, a 10 F nominal rated Y5V type
capacitor may not deliver enough total capacitance to
meet minimum VDDCORE voltage regulator stability and
transient response requirements. Therefore, Y5V
capacitors are not recommended for use with the
VDDCORE regulator if the application must operate over
a wide temperature range.
In addition to temperature tolerance, the effective
capacitance of large value ceramic capacitors can vary
substantially, based on the amount of DC voltage
applied to the capacitor. This effect can be very significant, but is often overlooked or is not always
documented.
A typical DC bias voltage vs. capacitance graph for
X7R type and Y5V type capacitors is shown in
Figure 2-4.

DC Bias Voltage (VDC)
When selecting a ceramic capacitor to be used with the

VDDCORE voltage regulator, it is suggested to select a
high-voltage rating, so that the operating voltage is a
small percentage of the maximum rated capacitor voltage. For example, choose a ceramic capacitor rated at
16V for the 2.5V VDDCORE voltage. Suggested
capacitors are shown in Table 2-1.
2.5
ICSP Pins
The PGC and PGD pins are used for In-Circuit Serial
Programming (ICSP) and debugging purposes. It
is recommended to keep the trace length between the
ICSP connector and the ICSP pins on the device as
short as possible. If the ICSP connector is expected to
experience an ESD event, a series resistor is recommended, with the value in the range of a few tens of
ohms, not to exceed 100.
Pull-up resistors, series diodes, and capacitors on the
PGC and PGD pins are not recommended as they will
interfere with the programmer/debugger communications to the device. If such discrete components are an
application requirement, they should be removed from
the circuit during programming and debugging. Alternatively, refer to the AC/DC characteristics and timing
requirements information in the respective device
Flash programming specification for information on
capacitive loading limits, and pin input voltage high
(VIH) and input low (VIL) requirements.
For device emulation, ensure that the Communication
Channel Select (i.e., PGCx/PGDx pins), programmed
into the device, matches the physical connections for
the ICSP to the Microchip debugger/emulator tool.
For more information on available Microchip
development tools connection requirements, refer to
Section 27.0 Development Support.

FIGURE 2-5:
Many microcontrollers have options for at least two

oscillators: a high-frequency primary oscillator and a
low-frequency
secondary
oscillator
(refer to
Section 3.0 Oscillator Configurations for details).
The oscillator circuit should be placed on the same
side of the board as the device. Place the oscillator
circuit close to the respective oscillator pins with no
more than 0.5 inch (12 mm) between the circuit
components and the pins. The load capacitors should
be placed next to the oscillator itself, on the same side
of the board.
Use a grounded copper pour around the oscillator circuit to isolate it from surrounding circuits. The
grounded copper pour should be routed directly to the
MCU ground. Do not run any signal traces or power
traces inside the ground pour. Also, if using a two-sided
board, avoid any traces on the other side of the board
where the crystal is placed.

Layout suggestions are shown in Figure 2-5. In-line

fine-pitch packages, it is not always possible to completely surround the pins and components. A suitable
solution is to tie the broken guard sections to a mirrored
ground layer. In all cases, the guard trace(s) must be
returned to ground.
In planning the applications routing and I/O assignments, ensure that adjacent port pins, and other
signals in close proximity to the oscillator, are benign
(i.e., free of high frequencies, short rise and fall times,
and other similar noise).

Oscillator Types
The PIC18F97J60 family of devices can be operated in

five different oscillator modes:
Devices in the PIC18F97J60 family incorporate an

oscillator and microcontroller clock system that differs
from standard PIC18FXXJXX devices. The addition of
the Ethernet module, with its requirement for a stable
25 MHz clock source, makes it necessary to provide a
primary oscillator that can provide this frequency as
well as a range of different microcontroller clock
speeds. An overview of the oscillator structure is shown
in Figure 3-1.

OSCILLATOR CONTROL
The oscillator mode is selected by programming the

FOSC<2:0> Configuration bits. FOSC<1:0> bits select
the default primary oscillator modes, while FOSC2
selects when INTRC may be invoked.
Other oscillator features used in PIC18FXXJXX

enhanced microcontrollers, such as the internal RC
oscillator and clock switching, remain the same. They
are discussed later in this chapter.
The OSCCON register (Register 3-2) selects the Active

Clock mode. It is primarily used in controlling clock
switching in power-managed modes. Its use is discussed
in Section 3.7.1 Oscillator Control Register.
The OSCTUNE register (Register 3-1) is used to select
the system clock frequency from the primary oscillator
source by selecting combinations of prescaler/postscaler
settings and enabling the PLL. Its use is described in
Section 3.6.1 PLL Block.

Crystal Oscillator/Ceramic
Resonators (HS Modes)
In HS or HSPLL Oscillator modes, a crystal is

connected to the OSC1 and OSC2 pins to establish
oscillation. Figure 3-2 shows the pin connections.
Note 1: Higher capacitance increases the stability of the oscillator but also increases the
start-up time.
2: Since each crystal has its own characteristics, the user should consult the crystal
manufacturer for appropriate values of
external components.
The oscillator design requires the use of a crystal that

is rated for parallel resonant operation.

External Clock Input (EC Modes)
The EC and ECPLL Oscillator modes require an external clock source to be connected to the OSC1 pin.
There is no oscillator start-up time required after a
Power-on Reset or after an exit from Sleep mode.
In the EC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency,
divided by 4, is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal
may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other
logic. Figure 3-3 shows the pin connections for the EC
Oscillator mode.

Internal Oscillator Block
The PIC18F97J60 family of devices includes an internal

oscillator source (INTRC) which provides a nominal
31 kHz output. The INTRC is enabled on device
power-up and clocks the device during its configuration
cycle until it enters operating mode. INTRC is also
enabled if it is selected as the device clock source or if
any of the following are enabled:
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
Watchdog Timer
Two-Speed Start-up
These features are discussed in greater detail in
Section 25.0 Special Features of the CPU.
The INTRC can also be optionally configured as the
default clock source on device start-up by setting the
FOSC2 Configuration bit. This is discussed in
Section 3.7.1 Oscillator Control Register.
3.6
Ethernet Operation and the

Microcontroller Clock
Although devices of the PIC18F97J60 family can accept

a wide range of crystals and external oscillator inputs,
they must always have a 25 MHz clock source when
REGISTER 3-1:
used for Ethernet applications. No provision is made for

internally generating the required Ethernet clock from a
primary oscillator source of a different frequency. A
frequency tolerance is specified, likely excluding the use
of ceramic resonators. See Section 28.0 Electrical
Characteristics, Table 28-6, Parameter 5, for more
details.
3.6.1
PLL BLOCK
To accommodate a range of applications and microcontroller clock speeds, a separate PLL block is
incorporated into the clock system. It consists of three
components:
A configurable prescaler (1:2 or 1:3)
A 5x PLL frequency multiplier
A configurable postscaler (1:1, 1:2, or 1:3)
The operation of the PLL blocks components is
controlled by the OSCTUNE register (Register 3-1).
The use of the PLL blocks prescaler and postscaler,
with or without the PLL itself, provides a range of
system clock frequencies to choose from, including the
unaltered 25 MHz of the primary oscillator. The full
range of possible oscillator configurations compatible
with Ethernet operation is shown in Table 3-2.

3.7
Clock Sources and Oscillator

Switching
The PIC18F97J60 family of devices includes a feature

that allows the device clock source to be switched from
the main oscillator to an alternate clock source. These
devices also offer two alternate clock sources. When
an alternate clock source is enabled, the various
power-managed operating modes are available.
Essentially, there are three clock sources for these
devices:
Primary oscillators
Secondary oscillators
Internal oscillator block
The primary oscillators include the External Crystal
and Resonator modes and the External Clock modes.
The particular mode is defined by the FOSC<2:0>
Configuration bits. The details of these modes are
covered earlier in this chapter.
DS39762F-page 52
The secondary oscillators are those external sources

not connected to the OSC1 or OSC2 pins. These
sources may continue to operate even after the controller
is placed in a power-managed mode. The PIC18F97J60
family of devices offers the Timer1 oscillator as a secondary oscillator. In all power-managed modes, this oscillator
is often the time base for functions such as a Real-Time
Clock (RTC).
Most often, a 32.768 kHz watch crystal is connected
between the RC0/T1OSO/T13CKI and RC1/T1OSI
pins. Loading capacitors are also connected from each
pin to ground. The Timer1 oscillator is discussed in
greater detail in Section 13.3 Timer1 Oscillator.
In addition to being a primary clock source, the internal
oscillator is available as a power-managed mode
clock source. The INTRC source is also used as the
clock source for several special features, such as the
WDT and Fail-Safe Clock Monitor.
The clock sources for the PIC18F97J60 family devices
are shown in Figure 3-1. See Section 25.0 Special
Features of the CPU for Configuration register details.
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
3.7.1
OSCILLATOR CONTROL REGISTER
The OSCCON register (Register 3-2) controls several

aspects of the device clocks operation, both in
full-power operation and in power-managed modes.
The System Clock Select bits, SCS<1:0>, select the
clock source. The available clock sources are the
primary clock (defined by the FOSC<2:0> Configuration bits), the secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator) and
the internal oscillator. The clock source changes after
one or more of the bits are changed, following a brief
clock transition interval.
The OSTS (OSCCON<3>) and T1RUN (T1CON<6>)
bits indicate which clock source is currently providing
the device clock. The T1RUN bit indicates when the
Timer1 oscillator is providing the device clock in
secondary clock modes. In power-managed modes,
only one of these bits will be set at any time. If neither
bit is set, the INTRC source is providing the clock, or
the internal oscillator has just started and is not yet
stable.
REGISTER 3-2:
R/W-0
The use of the flag and control bits in the OSCCON

register is discussed in more detail in Section 4.0
Power-Managed Modes.
Note 1: The Timer1 oscillator must be enabled to
select the secondary clock source. The
Timer1 oscillator is enabled by setting the
T1OSCEN bit in the Timer1 Control register (T1CON<3>). If the Timer1 oscillator
is not enabled, then any attempt to select
a secondary clock source will be ignored.
2: It is recommended that the Timer1
oscillator be operating and stable before
executing the SLEEP instruction or a very
long delay may occur while the Timer1
oscillator starts.

3.7.1.1
System Clock Selection and the

FOSC2 Configuration Bit
The SCS bits are cleared on all forms of Reset. In the

devices default configuration, this means the primary
oscillator, defined by FOSC<1:0> (that is, one of the
HC or EC modes), is used as the primary clock source
on device Resets.
The default clock configuration on Reset can be changed
with the FOSC2 Configuration bit. This bit affects the
clock source selection setting when SCS<1:0> = 00.
When FOSC2 = 1 (default), the oscillator source
defined by FOSC<1:0> is selected whenever
SCS<1:0> = 00. When FOSC2 = 0, the INTRC oscillator
is selected whenever SCS<1:0> = 00. Because the SCS
bits are cleared on Reset, the FOSC2 setting also
changes the default oscillator mode on Reset.
Regardless of the setting of FOSC2, INTRC will always
be enabled on device power-up. It will serve as the
clock source until the device has loaded its configuration values from memory. It is at this point that the
FOSC Configuration bits are read and the oscillator
selection of operational mode is made.
Note that either the primary clock or the internal
oscillator will have two bit setting options, at any given
time, depending on the setting of FOSC2.
3.7.2
OSCILLATOR TRANSITIONS
PIC18F97J60 family devices contain circuitry to

prevent clock glitches when switching between clock
sources. A short pause in the device clock occurs
during the clock switch. The length of this pause is the
sum of two cycles of the old clock source and three to
four cycles of the new clock source. This formula
assumes that the new clock source is stable.
Clock transitions are discussed in greater detail in
Section 4.1.2 Entering Power-Managed Modes.
3.8
Effects of Power-Managed Modes

on the Various Clock Sources
When PRI_IDLE mode is selected, the designated

primary oscillator continues to run without interruption.
For all other power-managed modes, the oscillator
using the OSC1 pin is disabled. The OSC1 pin (and
OSC2 pin if used by the oscillator) will stop oscillating.
In secondary clock modes (SEC_RUN and

SEC_IDLE), the Timer1 oscillator is operating and
providing the device clock. The Timer1 oscillator may
also run in all power-managed modes if required to
clock Timer1 or Timer3.
In RC_RUN and RC_IDLE modes, the internal oscillator provides the device clock source. The 31 kHz
INTRC output can be used directly to provide the clock
and may be enabled to support various special
features, regardless of the power-managed mode (see
Section 25.2 Watchdog Timer (WDT) through
Section 25.5 Fail-Safe Clock Monitor for more
information on WDT, Fail-Safe Clock Monitor and
Two-Speed Start-up).
If the Sleep mode is selected, all clock sources are
stopped. Since all the transistor switching currents have
been stopped, Sleep mode achieves the lowest current
consumption of the device (only leakage currents).
Enabling any on-chip feature that will operate during
Sleep will increase the current consumed during Sleep.
The INTRC is required to support WDT operation. The
Timer1 oscillator may be operating to support a
Real-Time Clock. Other features may be operating that
do not require a device clock source (i.e., MSSP slave,
PSP, INTx pins and others). Peripherals that may add
significant current consumption are listed in
Section 28.2 DC Characteristics: Power-Down and
Supply Current PIC18F97J60 Family (Industrial)
3.9
Power-up Delays
Power-up delays are controlled by two timers, so that

no external Reset circuitry is required for most applications. The delays ensure that the device is kept in
Reset until the device power supply is stable under normal circumstances, and the primary clock is operating
and stable. For additional information on power-up
delays, see Section 5.6 Power-up Timer (PWRT).
The first timer is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which
provides a fixed delay on power-up (Parameter 33,
Table 28-12); it is always enabled.
The second timer is the Oscillator Start-up Timer
(OST), intended to keep the chip in Reset until the
crystal oscillator is stable (HS modes). The OST does
this by counting 1024 oscillator cycles before allowing
the oscillator to clock the device.
There is a delay of interval, TCSD (Parameter 38,
Table 28-12), following POR, while the controller
becomes ready to execute instructions.

4.1.1
POWER-MANAGED MODES
CLOCK SOURCES
The PIC18F97J60 family devices provide the ability to

manage power consumption by simply managing clocking to the CPU and the peripherals. In general, a lower
clock frequency and a reduction in the number of circuits
being clocked constitutes lower consumed power. For
the sake of managing power in an application, there are
three primary modes of operation:
The SCS<1:0> bits allow the selection of one of three

clock sources for power-managed modes. They are:
Run mode
Idle mode
Sleep mode
4.1.2
These modes define which portions of the device are

clocked and at what speed. The Run and Idle modes
may use any of the three available clock sources
(primary, secondary or internal oscillator block); the
Sleep mode does not use a clock source.
The power-managed modes include several
power-saving features offered on previous PIC MCU
devices. One is the clock switching feature, offered in
other PIC18 devices, allowing the controller to use the
Timer1 oscillator in place of the primary oscillator. Also
included is the Sleep mode, offered by all PIC MCU
devices, where all device clocks are stopped.
4.1
Selecting Power-Managed Modes
Selecting a power-managed mode requires two

decisions: if the CPU is to be clocked or not and which
clock source is to be used. The IDLEN bit
(OSCCON<7>) controls CPU clocking, while the
SCS<1:0> bits (OSCCON<1:0>) select the clock
source. The individual modes, bit settings, clock sources
and affected modules are summarized in Table 4-1.
TABLE 4-1:
ENTERING POWER-MANAGED
MODES
Switching from one power-managed mode to another

begins by loading the OSCCON register. The
SCS<1:0> bits select the clock source and determine
which Run or Idle mode is to be used. Changing these
bits causes an immediate switch to the new clock
source, assuming that it is running. The switch may
also be subject to clock transition delays. These are
discussed in Section 4.1.3 Clock Transitions and
Status Indicators and subsequent sections.
Entry to the power-managed Idle or Sleep modes is
triggered by the execution of a SLEEP instruction. The
actual mode that results depends on the status of the
IDLEN bit.
Depending on the current mode and the mode being
switched to, a change to a power-managed mode does
not always require setting all of these bits. Many
transitions may be done by changing the oscillator
select bits, or changing the IDLEN bit, prior to issuing a
SLEEP instruction. If the IDLEN bit is already
configured correctly, it may only be necessary to
perform a SLEEP instruction to switch to the desired
mode.

4.1.3
CLOCK TRANSITIONS AND STATUS

INDICATORS
The length of the transition between clock sources is

the sum of two cycles of the old clock source and three
to four cycles of the new clock source. This formula
assumes that the new clock source is stable.
Two bits indicate the current clock source and its
status:
OSTS
(OSCCON<3>)
and
T1RUN
(T1CON<6>). In general, only one of these bits will be
set while in a given power-managed mode. When the
OSTS bit is set, the primary clock is providing the
device clock. When the T1RUN bit is set, the Timer1
oscillator is providing the clock. If neither of these bits
is set, INTRC is clocking the device.
Note:
4.1.4
Executing a SLEEP instruction does not

necessarily place the device into Sleep
mode. It acts as the trigger to place the
controller into either the Sleep mode, or
one of the Idle modes, depending on the
setting of the IDLEN bit.
MULTIPLE SLEEP COMMANDS
The power-managed mode that is invoked with the

SLEEP instruction is determined by the setting of the
IDLEN bit at the time the instruction is executed. If
another SLEEP instruction is executed, the device will
enter the power-managed mode specified by IDLEN at
that time. If IDLEN has changed, the device will enter the
new power-managed mode specified by the new setting.
4.2
Run Modes
In the Run modes, clocks to both the core and

peripherals are active. The difference between these
modes is the clock source.
4.2.1
4.2.2
SEC_RUN MODE
The SEC_RUN mode is the compatible mode to the

clock switching feature offered in other PIC18
devices. In this mode, the CPU and peripherals are
clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. This gives users the
option of lower power consumption while still using a
high accuracy clock source.
SEC_RUN mode is entered by setting the SCS<1:0>
bits to 01. The device clock source is switched to the
Timer1 oscillator (see Figure 4-1), the primary
oscillator is shut down, the T1RUN bit (T1CON<6>) is
set and the OSTS bit is cleared.
Note:
The Timer1 oscillator should already be

running prior to entering SEC_RUN
mode. If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when
the SCS<1:0> bits are set to 01, entry to
SEC_RUN mode will not occur. If the
Timer1 oscillator is enabled, but not yet
running, device clocks will be delayed until
the oscillator has started. In such
situations, initial oscillator operation is far
from stable and unpredictable operation
may result.
On transitions from SEC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN, the

peripherals and CPU continue to be clocked from the
Timer1 oscillator while the primary clock is started.
When the primary clock becomes ready, a clock switch
back to the primary clock occurs (see Figure 4-2).
When the clock switch is complete, the T1RUN bit is
cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the primary clock is
providing the clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not
affected by the wake-up; the Timer1 oscillator
continues to run.
PRI_RUN MODE
The PRI_RUN mode is the normal, full-power execution mode of the microcontroller. This is also the default
mode upon a device Reset unless Two-Speed Start-up
is enabled (see Section 25.4 Two-Speed Start-up
for details). In this mode, the OSTS bit is set. (see
Section 3.7.1 Oscillator Control Register).

4.2.3
RC_RUN MODE
On transitions from RC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN mode,

the device continues to be clocked from the INTRC
while the primary clock is started. When the primary
clock becomes ready, a clock switch to the primary
clock occurs (see Figure 4-4). When the clock switch is
complete, the OSTS bit is set and the primary clock is
providing the device clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits
are not affected by the switch. The INTRC source will
continue to run if either the WDT or Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor is enabled.
In RC_RUN mode, the CPU and peripherals are

clocked from the internal oscillator; the primary clock is
shut down. This mode provides the best power conservation of all the Run modes while still executing code.
It works well for user applications which are not highly
timing-sensitive or do not require high-speed clocks at
all times.
This mode is entered by setting SCS<1:0> to 11.
When the clock source is switched to the INTRC (see
Figure 4-3), the primary oscillator is shut down and the
OSTS bit is cleared.

4.3
Sleep Mode
4.4
The power-managed Sleep mode is identical to the

legacy Sleep mode offered in all other PIC MCU
devices. It is entered by clearing the IDLEN bit (the
default state on device Reset) and executing the
SLEEP instruction. This shuts down the selected
oscillator (Figure 4-5). All clock source status bits are
cleared.
Idle Modes
The Idle modes allow the controllers CPU to be

selectively shut down while the peripherals continue to
operate. Selecting a particular Idle mode allows users
to further manage power consumption.
If the IDLEN bit is set to 1 when a SLEEP instruction is
executed, the peripherals will be clocked from the clock
source selected using the SCS<1:0> bits; however, the
CPU will not be clocked. The clock source status bits are
not affected. Setting IDLEN and executing a SLEEP
instruction provides a quick method of switching from a
given Run mode to its corresponding Idle mode.
Entering the Sleep mode from any other mode does not
require a clock switch. This is because no clocks are
needed once the controller has entered Sleep. If the
WDT is selected, the INTRC source will continue to
operate. If the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, it will also
continue to run.
If the WDT is selected, the INTRC source will continue

to operate. If the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, it will also
continue to run.
When a wake event occurs in Sleep mode (by interrupt,

Reset or WDT time-out), the device will not be clocked
until the clock source selected by the SCS<1:0> bits
becomes ready (see Figure 4-6), or it will be clocked
from the internal oscillator if either the Two-Speed
Start-up or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled (see
Section 25.0 Special Features of the CPU). In
either case, the OSTS bit is set when the primary clock
is providing the device clocks. The IDLEN and SCS bits
are not affected by the wake-up.
Since the CPU is not executing instructions, the only exits

from any of the Idle modes are by interrupt, WDT
time-out or a Reset. When a wake event occurs, CPU
execution is delayed by an interval of TCSD
(Parameter 38, Table 28-12) while it becomes ready to
execute code. When the CPU begins executing code, it
resumes with the same clock source for the current Idle
mode. For example, when waking from RC_IDLE mode,
the internal oscillator block will clock the CPU and peripherals (in other words, RC_RUN mode). The IDLEN and
SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.
While in any Idle mode or Sleep mode, a WDT time-out
will result in a WDT wake-up to the Run mode currently
specified by the SCS<1:0> bits.

PRI_IDLE MODE
4.4.2
This mode is unique among the three low-power Idle

modes in that it does not disable the primary device
clock. For timing-sensitive applications, this allows for
the fastest resumption of device operation with its more
accurate primary clock source, since the clock source
does not have to warm up or transition from another
oscillator.
PRI_IDLE mode is entered from PRI_RUN mode by
setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. If the device is in another Run mode, set IDLEN
first, then set the SCS<1:0> bits to 10 and execute
SLEEP. Although the CPU is disabled, the peripherals
continue to be clocked from the primary clock source
specified by the FOSC<1:0> Configuration bits. The
OSTS bit remains set (see Figure 4-7).
In SEC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled but the

peripherals continue to be clocked from the Timer1
oscillator. This mode is entered from SEC_RUN by setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. If
the device is in another Run mode, set IDLEN first, then
set SCS<1:0> to 01 and execute SLEEP. When the
clock source is switched to the Timer1 oscillator, the
primary oscillator is shut down, the OSTS bit is cleared
and the T1RUN bit is set.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. After an interval
of TCSD, following the wake event, the CPU begins executing code being clocked by the Timer1 oscillator. The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up;
the Timer1 oscillator continues to run (see Figure 4-8).
When a wake event occurs, the CPU is clocked from the

primary clock source. A delay of interval, TCSD, is
required between the wake event and when code
execution starts. This is required to allow the CPU to
become ready to execute instructions. After the
wake-up, the OSTS bit remains set. The IDLEN and
SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up (see
Figure 4-8).
FIGURE 4-7:
SEC_IDLE MODE
Note:
The Timer1 oscillator should already be

running prior to entering SEC_IDLE mode.
If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the SLEEP
instruction will be ignored and entry to
SEC_IDLE mode will not occur. If the
Timer1 oscillator is enabled, but not yet
running, peripheral clocks will be delayed
until the oscillator has started. In such
situations, initial oscillator operation is far
from stable and unpredictable operation
may result.

4.4.3
RC_IDLE MODE
In RC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled but the peripherals continue to be clocked from the internal oscillator.
This mode allows for controllable power conservation
during Idle periods.
From RC_RUN mode, RC_IDLE mode is entered by
setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction.
If the device is in another Run mode, first set IDLEN,
then clear the SCS bits and execute SLEEP. When the
clock source is switched to the INTRC, the primary
oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is cleared.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the INTRC. After a delay of TCSD
following the wake event, the CPU begins executing
code being clocked by the INTRC. The IDLEN and
SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up. The INTRC
source will continue to run if either the WDT or the
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled.
4.5
Exiting Idle and Sleep Modes
An exit from Sleep mode, or any of the Idle modes, is

triggered by an interrupt, a Reset or a WDT time-out.
This section discusses the triggers that cause exits
from power-managed modes. The clocking subsystem
actions are discussed in each of the power-managed
modes sections (see Section 4.2 Run Modes,
Section 4.3 Sleep Mode and Section 4.4 Idle
Modes).
4.5.1
EXIT BY INTERRUPT
Any of the available interrupt sources can cause the

device to exit from an Idle mode, or the Sleep mode, to
a Run mode. To enable this functionality, an interrupt
source must be enabled by setting its enable bit in one
of the INTCON or PIE registers. The exit sequence is
initiated when the corresponding interrupt flag bit is set.
On all exits from Idle or Sleep modes by interrupt, code
execution branches to the interrupt vector if the
GIE/GIEH bit (INTCON<7>) is set. Otherwise, code
execution continues or resumes without branching
(see Section 10.0 Interrupts).
4.5.2
EXIT BY WDT TIME-OUT
A WDT time-out will cause different actions depending

on which power-managed mode the device is in when
the time-out occurs.
If the device is not executing code (all Idle modes and
Sleep mode), the time-out will result in an exit from the
power-managed mode (see Section 4.2 Run
Modes and Section 4.3 Sleep Mode). If the device
is executing code (all Run modes), the time-out will
result in a WDT Reset (see Section 25.2 Watchdog
Timer (WDT)).
The WDT timer and postscaler are cleared by one of
the following events:
Executing a SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction
The loss of a currently selected clock source (if
the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled)
4.5.3
EXIT BY RESET
Exiting an Idle or Sleep mode by Reset automatically

forces the device to run from the INTRC.
4.5.4
EXIT WITHOUT AN OSCILLATOR

START-UP TIMER DELAY
Certain exits from power-managed modes do not

invoke the OST at all. There are two cases:
PRI_IDLE mode, where the primary clock source
is not stopped
The primary clock source is either the EC or
ECPLL mode
In these instances, the primary clock source either
does not require an oscillator start-up delay, since it is
already running (PRI_IDLE), or normally does not
require an oscillator start-up delay (EC). However, a
fixed delay of interval, TCSD, following the wake event
is still required when leaving the Sleep and Idle modes
to allow the CPU to prepare for execution. Instruction
execution resumes on the first clock cycle following this
delay.
A fixed delay of interval, TCSD, following the wake event

is required when leaving the Sleep and Idle modes.
This delay is required for the CPU to prepare for execution. Instruction execution resumes on the first clock
cycle following this delay.

5.1
RCON Register
Device Reset events are tracked through the RCON

register (Register 5-1). The lower six bits of the register
indicate that a specific Reset event has occurred. In
most cases, these bits can only be set by the event and
must be cleared by the application after the event. The
state of these flag bits, taken together, can be read to
indicate the type of Reset that just occurred. This is
described in more detail in Section 5.7 Reset State
of Registers.
The RCON register also has a control bit for setting
interrupt priority (IPEN). Interrupt priority is discussed
in Section 10.0 Interrupts.

BOR for more information.

5.2
Master Clear (MCLR)
FIGURE 5-2:
The MCLR pin provides a method for triggering a hard

external Reset of the device. A Reset is generated by
holding the pin low. PIC18 extended microcontroller
devices have a noise filter in the MCLR Reset path
which detects and ignores small pulses.
5.3
D(1)
POR events are captured by the POR bit (RCON<1>).

The state of the bit is set to 0 whenever a Power-on
Reset occurs; it does not change for any other Reset
event. POR is not reset to 1 by any hardware event.
To capture multiple events, the user manually resets
the bit to 1 in software following any Power-on Reset.
5.4
Brown-out Reset (BOR)
The PIC18F97J60 family of devices incorporates a

simple BOR function when the internal regulator is
enabled (ENVREG pin is tied to VDD). Any drop of VDD
below VBOR (Parameter D005), for greater than time,
TBOR (Parameter 35), will reset the device. A Reset
may or may not occur if VDD falls below VBOR for less
than TBOR. The chip will remain in Brown-out Reset
until VDD rises above VBOR.
Once a BOR has occurred, the Power-up Timer will
keep the chip in Reset for TPWRT (Parameter 33). If
VDD drops below VBOR while the Power-up Timer is
running, the chip will go back into a Brown-out Reset
and the Power-up Timer will be initialized. Once VDD
rises above VBOR, the Power-up Timer will execute the
additional time delay.
MCLR
PIC18FXXJ6X
Note 1:
External Power-on Reset circuit is required

only if the VDD power-up slope is too slow.
The diode, D, helps discharge the capacitor
quickly when VDD powers down.
2:
R < 40 k is recommended to make sure that

the voltage drop across R does not violate
the devices electrical specification.
3:
R1 1 k will limit any current flowing into

MCLR from external capacitor, C, in the event
of MCLR/VPP pin breakdown, due to
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), or Electrical
Overstress (EOS).
To take advantage of the POR circuitry, tie the MCLR

pin through a resistor (1 k to 10 k) to VDD. This will
eliminate external RC components usually needed to
create a Power-on Reset delay. A minimum rise rate for
VDD is specified (Parameter D004). For a slow rise
time, see Figure 5-2.
When the device starts normal operation (i.e., exits the
Reset condition), device operating parameters
(voltage, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to
ensure operation. If these conditions are not met, the
device must be held in Reset until the operating
conditions are met.
R(2)
R1(3)
Power-on Reset (POR)
A Power-on Reset condition is generated on-chip

whenever VDD rises above a certain threshold. This

VDD is adequate for operation.

5.4.1
DETECTING BOR
The BOR bit always resets to 0 on any Brown-out

Reset or Power-on Reset event. This makes it difficult
to determine if a Brown-out Reset event has occurred
just by reading the state of BOR alone. A more reliable
method is to simultaneously check the state of both
POR and BOR. This assumes that the POR bit is reset
to 1 in software immediately after any Power-on Reset
event. If BOR is 0 while POR is 1, it can be reliably
assumed that a Brown-out Reset event has occurred.
If the voltage regulator is disabled, Brown-out Reset
functionality is disabled. In this case, the BOR bit
cannot be used to determine a Brown-out Reset event.
The BOR bit is still cleared by a Power-on Reset event.
5.5
Configuration Mismatch (CM)
The Configuration Mismatch (CM) Reset is designed to

detect and attempt to recover from random, memory
corrupting events. These include Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD) events which can cause widespread
single-bit changes throughout the device and result in
catastrophic failure.
In PIC18FXXJ Flash devices, the device Configuration
registers (located in the configuration memory space)
are continuously monitored during operation by comparing their values to complimentary shadow registers.
If a mismatch is detected between the two sets of
registers, a CM Reset automatically occurs. These
events are captured by the CM bit (RCON<5>). The
state of the bit is set to 0 whenever a CM event occurs;
it does not change for any other Reset event.
DS39762F-page 65
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
A CM Reset behaves similarly to a Master Clear Reset,
RESET instruction, WDT time-out or Stack Event Reset.
As with all hard and power Reset events, the device
Configuration Words are reloaded from the Flash Configuration Words in program memory as the device
restarts.
5.6
Power-up Timer (PWRT)
PIC18F97J60 family of devices incorporates an

on-chip Power-up Timer (PWRT) to help regulate the
Power-on Reset process. The PWRT is always
enabled. The main function is to ensure that the device
voltage is stable before code is executed.
The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of the PIC18F97J60 family devices is an 11-bit counter which uses the INTRC
source as the clock input. This yields an approximate
time interval of 2048 x 32 s = 66 ms. While the PWRT
is counting, the device is held in Reset.
FIGURE 5-3:
The power-up time delay depends on the INTRC clock

and will vary from chip-to-chip due to temperature and
process variation. See DC Parameter 33 for details.
5.6.1
TIME-OUT SEQUENCE
The PWRT time-out is invoked after the POR pulse has

cleared. The total time-out will vary based on the status
of the PWRT. Figure 5-3, Figure 5-4, Figure 5-5 and
Figure 5-6 all depict time-out sequences on power-up.
Since the time-outs occur from the POR pulse, if MCLR
is kept low long enough, the PWRT will expire. Bringing
MCLR high will begin execution immediately
(Figure 5-5). This is useful for testing purposes or to
synchronize more than one PIC18FXXJ6X device
operating in parallel.

TO, PD, POR and BOR) are set or cleared differently in

different Reset situations, as indicated in Table 5-1.
These bits are used in software to determine the nature
of the Reset.
Reset State of Registers
Most registers are unaffected by a Reset. Their status

is unknown on POR and unchanged by all other
Resets. The other registers are forced to a Reset
state depending on the type of Reset that occurred.
Table 5-2 describes the Reset states for all of the

Special Function Registers. These are categorized by
Power-on and Brown-out Resets, Master Clear and
WDT Resets, and WDT wake-ups.
Most registers are not affected by a WDT wake-up

since this is viewed as the resumption of normal
operation. Status bits from the RCON register (CM, RI,

PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
MEMORY ORGANIZATION
There are two types of memory in PIC18 Flash

microcontroller devices:
Program Memory
Data RAM
As Harvard architecture devices, the data and program
memories use separate busses. This allows for
concurrent access of the two memory spaces.
Additional detailed information on the operation of the
Flash program memory is provided in Section 7.0
Flash Program Memory.
FIGURE 6-1:
6.1
Program Memory Organization
PIC18 microcontrollers implement a 21-bit program

counter which is capable of addressing a 2-Mbyte
program memory space. Accessing a location between
the upper boundary of the physically implemented
memory and the 2-Mbyte address will return all 0s (a
NOP instruction).
The entire PIC18F97J60 family offers three sizes of
on-chip Flash program memory, from 64 Kbytes (up
to 32,764 single-word instructions) to 128 Kbytes
(65,532 single-word instructions). The program memory maps for individual family members are shown in
Figure 6-1.

HARD MEMORY VECTORS
6.1.2
FLASH CONFIGURATION WORDS
All PIC18 devices have a total of three hard-coded

return vectors in their program memory space. The
Reset vector address is the default value to which the
program counter returns on all device Resets; it is
located at 0000h.
Because the PIC18F97J60 family devices do not have

persistent configuration memory, the top four words of
on-chip program memory are reserved for configuration
information. On Reset, the configuration information is
copied into the Configuration registers.
PIC18 devices also have two interrupt vector

addresses for the handling of high-priority and
low-priority interrupts. The high-priority interrupt vector
is located at 0008h and the low-priority interrupt vector
is at 0018h. Their locations in relation to the program
memory map are shown in Figure 6-2.
The Configuration Words are stored in their program

memory location in numerical order, starting with the
lower byte of CONFIG1 at the lowest address and ending with the upper byte of CONFIG4. For these devices,
only Configuration Words, CONFIG1 through
CONFIG3, are used; CONFIG4 is reserved. The actual
addresses of the Flash Configuration Words for
devices in the PIC18F97J60 family are shown in
Table 6-1. Their location in the memory map is shown
with the other memory vectors in Figure 6-2.

6.1.3
PIC18F9XJ60/9XJ65 PROGRAM
MEMORY MODES
The 100-pin devices in this family can address up to a

total of 2 Mbytes of program memory. This is achieved
through the external memory bus. There are two
distinct operating modes available to the controllers:
Microcontroller (MC)
Extended Microcontroller (EMC)
The program memory mode is determined by setting
the EMB Configuration bits (CONFIG3L<5:4>), as
shown in Register 6-1. (Also see Section 25.1
Configuration Bits for additional details on the
device Configuration bits).
The program memory modes operate as follows:
The Microcontroller Mode accesses only on-chip
Flash memory. Attempts to read above the top of
on-chip memory causes a read of all 0s (a NOP
instruction).
The Microcontroller mode is also the only operating
mode available to 64-pin and 80-pin devices.
REGISTER 6-1:
The Extended Microcontroller Mode allows

access to both internal and external program
memories as a single block. The device can
access its entire on-chip program memory. Above
this, the device accesses external program
memory up to the 2-Mbyte program space limit.
Execution automatically switches between the
two memories as required.
The setting of the EMB Configuration bits also controls
the address bus width of the external memory bus. This
is covered in more detail in Section 8.0 External
Memory Bus.
In all modes, the microcontroller has complete access
to data RAM.
Figure 6-3 compares the memory maps of the different
program memory modes. The differences between
on-chip and external memory access limitations are
more fully explained in Table 6-2.

6.1.4
EXTENDED MICROCONTROLLER
MODE AND ADDRESS SHIFTING
To avoid this, the Extended Microcontroller mode

implements an address shifting option to enable automatic address translation. In this mode, addresses
presented on the external bus are shifted down by the
size of the on-chip program memory and are remapped
to start at 0000h. This allows the complete use of the
external memory devices memory space.
By default, devices in Extended Microcontroller mode

directly present the program counter value on the
external address bus for those addresses in the range
of the external memory space. In practical terms, this
means addresses in the external memory device below
the top of on-chip memory are unavailable.

6.1.5
PROGRAM COUNTER
The Program Counter (PC) specifies the address of the

instruction to fetch for execution. The PC is 21 bits wide
and is contained in three separate 8-bit registers. The
low byte, known as the PCL register, is both readable
and writable. The high byte, or PCH register, contains
the PC<15:8> bits; it is not directly readable or writable.
Updates to the PCH register are performed through the
PCLATH register. The upper byte is called PCU. This
register contains the PC<20:16> bits; it is also not
directly readable or writable. Updates to the PCU
register are performed through the PCLATU register.
The contents of PCLATH and PCLATU are transferred
to the program counter by any operation that writes to
the PCL. Similarly, the upper two bytes of the program
counter are transferred to PCLATH and PCLATU by an
operation that reads PCL. This is useful for computed
offsets to the PC (see Section 6.1.8.1 Computed
GOTO).
The PC addresses bytes in the program memory. To
prevent the PC from becoming misaligned with word
instructions, the Least Significant bit of PCL is fixed to
a value of 0. The PC increments by 2 to address
sequential instructions in the program memory.
The CALL, RCALL, GOTO and program branch
instructions write to the program counter directly. For
these instructions, the contents of PCLATH and
PCLATU are not transferred to the program counter.
6.1.6
RETURN ADDRESS STACK
The return address stack allows any combination of up to

31 program calls and interrupts to occur. The PC is
pushed onto the stack when a CALL or RCALL instruction
is executed, or an interrupt is Acknowledged. The PC
value is pulled off the stack on a RETURN, RETLW or a
RETFIE instruction (and on ADDULNK and SUBULNK
instructions if the extended instruction set is enabled).
PCLATU and PCLATH are not affected by any of the
RETURN or CALL instructions.
FIGURE 6-4:
The stack operates as a 31-word by 21-bit RAM and a

5-bit Stack Pointer, STKPTR. The stack space is not
part of either program or data space. The Stack Pointer
is readable and writable and the address on the top of
the stack is readable and writable through the
Top-of-Stack Special Function Registers. Data can also
be pushed to, or popped from the stack, using these
registers.
A CALL type instruction causes a push onto the stack.
The Stack Pointer is first incremented and the location
pointed to by the Stack Pointer is written with the
contents of the PC (already pointing to the instruction
following the CALL). A RETURN type instruction causes
a pop from the stack. The contents of the location
pointed to by the STKPTR are transferred to the PC
and then the Stack Pointer is decremented.
The Stack Pointer is initialized to 00000 after all
Resets. There is no RAM associated with the location
corresponding to a Stack Pointer value of 00000; this
is only a Reset value. Status bits indicate if the stack is
full, has overflowed or has underflowed.
6.1.6.1
Top-of-Stack Access
Only the top of the return address stack (TOS) is readable and writable. A set of three registers,
TOSU:TOSH:TOSL, holds the contents of the stack
location pointed to by the STKPTR register
(Figure 6-4). This allows users to implement a software
stack if necessary. After a CALL, RCALL or interrupt
(and ADDULNK and SUBULNK instructions if the
extended instruction set is enabled), the software can
read
the
pushed
value
by
reading
the
TOSU:TOSH:TOSL registers. These values can be
placed on a user-defined software stack. At return time,
the software can return these values to
TOSU:TOSH:TOSL and do a return.
The user must disable the Global Interrupt Enable bits
while accessing the stack to prevent inadvertent stack
corruption.

Return Stack Pointer (STKPTR)
When the stack has been popped enough times to

unload the stack, the next pop returns a value of zero
to the PC, and sets the STKUNF bit, while the Stack
Pointer remains at zero. The STKUNF bit will remain
set until cleared by software or until a POR occurs.
The STKPTR register (Register 6-2) contains the Stack

Pointer value, the STKFUL (Stack Full) status bit and
the STKUNF (Stack Underflow) status bit. The value of
the Stack Pointer can be 0 through 31. The Stack
Pointer increments before values are pushed onto the
stack and decrements after values are popped off the
stack. On Reset, the Stack Pointer value will be zero.
The user may read and write the Stack Pointer value.
This feature can be used by a Real-Time Operating
System (RTOS) for return stack maintenance.
Note:
After the PC is pushed onto the stack 31 times (without

popping any values off the stack), the STKFUL bit is
set. The STKFUL bit is cleared by software or by a
POR.
6.1.6.3
PUSH and POP Instructions
Since the Top-of-Stack is readable and writable, the

ability to push values onto the stack and pull values off
the stack, without disturbing normal program execution, is a desirable feature. The PIC18 instruction set
includes two instructions, PUSH and POP, that permit
the TOS to be manipulated under software control.
TOSU, TOSH and TOSL can be modified to place data
or a return address on the stack.
The action that takes place when the stack becomes

full depends on the state of the STVREN (Stack Overflow Reset Enable) Configuration bit. (Refer to
Section 25.1 Configuration Bits for a description of
the device Configuration bits.) If STVREN is set
(default), the 31st push will push the (PC + 2) value
onto the stack, set the STKFUL bit and reset the
device. The STKFUL bit will remain set and the Stack
Pointer will be set to zero.
The PUSH instruction places the current PC value onto

the stack. This increments the Stack Pointer and loads
the current PC value onto the stack.
If STVREN is cleared, the STKFUL bit will be set on the

31st push and the Stack Pointer will increment to 31.
Any additional pushes will not overwrite the 31st push
and the STKPTR will remain at 31.
REGISTER 6-2:
Returning a value of zero to the PC on an

underflow has the effect of vectoring the
program to the Reset vector, where the
stack conditions can be verified and
appropriate actions can be taken. This is
not the same as a Reset, as the contents
of the SFRs are not affected.
The POP instruction discards the current TOS by

decrementing the Stack Pointer. The previous value
pushed onto the stack then becomes the TOS value.

Device Resets on stack overflow and stack underflow

conditions are enabled by setting the STVREN bit in

or STKUNF bit and then cause a device Reset. When
STVREN is cleared, a full or underflow condition will set
the appropriate STKFUL or STKUNF bit, but not cause
a device Reset. The STKFUL or STKUNF bit is cleared
by user software or a Power-on Reset.
6.1.7
FAST REGISTER STACK
A Fast Register Stack (FSR) is provided for the

STATUS, WREG and BSR registers to provide a fast
return option for interrupts. This stack is only one level
deep and is neither readable nor writable. It is loaded
with the current value of the corresponding register
when the processor vectors for an interrupt. All interrupt sources will push values into the Stack registers.
The values in the registers are then loaded back into
the working registers if the RETFIE, FAST instruction
is used to return from the interrupt.
6.1.8
LOOK-UP TABLES IN PROGRAM

MEMORY
There may be programming situations that require the

creation of data structures, or look-up tables, in
program memory. For PIC18 devices, look-up tables
can be implemented in two ways:
Computed GOTO
Table Reads
6.1.8.1
Computed GOTO
A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset

to the program counter. An example is shown in
Example 6-2.
A look-up table can be formed with an ADDWF PCL
instruction and a group of RETLW nn instructions. The
W register is loaded with an offset into the table before
executing a call to that table. The first instruction of the
called routine is the ADDWF PCL instruction. The next
instruction executed will be one of the RETLW nn
instructions, that returns the value nn to the calling
function.
If both low and high-priority interrupts are enabled, the

Stack registers cannot be used reliably to return from
low-priority interrupts. If a high-priority interrupt occurs
while servicing a low-priority interrupt, the Stack
register values stored by the low-priority interrupt will
be overwritten. In these cases, users must save the key
registers in software during a low-priority interrupt.
The offset value (in WREG) specifies the number of

bytes that the program counter should advance and
should be multiples of 2 (LSb = 0).
If interrupt priority is not used, all interrupts may use the

Fast Register Stack for returns from interrupt. If no
interrupts are used, the Fast Register Stack can be
used to restore the STATUS, WREG and BSR registers
at the end of a subroutine call. To use the Fast Register
Stack for a subroutine call, a CALL label, FAST
instruction must be executed to save the STATUS,
WREG and BSR registers to the Fast Register Stack. A
RETURN, FAST instruction is then executed to restore
these registers from the Fast Register Stack.
EXAMPLE 6-2:
Example 6-1 shows a source code example that uses

the Fast Register Stack during a subroutine call and
return.

Table Reads
A better method of storing data in program memory

allows two bytes of data to be stored in each instruction
location.
Look-up table data may be stored, two bytes per
program word, while programming. The Table Pointer
(TBLPTR) specifies the byte address and the Table
Latch (TABLAT) contains the data that is read from the
program memory. Data is transferred from program
memory, one byte at a time.
Table read operation is discussed further

PIC18 Instruction Cycle
6.2.1
An Instruction Cycle consists of four Q cycles, Q1

through Q4. The instruction fetch and execute are
pipelined in such a manner that a fetch takes one
instruction cycle, while the decode and execute take
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 6-3).
CLOCKING SCHEME
The microcontroller clock input, whether from an

internal or external source, is internally divided by four
to generate four non-overlapping quadrature clocks
(Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4). Internally, the program counter is
incremented on every Q1. The instruction is fetched
from the program memory and latched into the
Instruction Register (IR) during Q4. The instruction is
decoded and executed during the following Q1 through
Q4. The clocks and instruction execution flow are
shown in Figure 6-5.
FIGURE 6-5:
INSTRUCTION FLOW/PIPELINING
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 (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).

6.2.3
INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM
MEMORY
The program memory is addressed in bytes. Instructions are stored as two bytes or four bytes in program
memory. The Least Significant Byte (LSB) of an
instruction word is always stored in a program memory
location with an even address (LSb = 0). To maintain
alignment with instruction boundaries, the PC increments in steps of 2 and the LSb will always read 0 (see
Section 6.1.5 Program Counter).
Figure 6-6 shows an example of how instruction words
are stored in the program memory.
FIGURE 6-6:
INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM MEMORY

Program Memory
Byte Locations
6.2.4
The CALL and GOTO instructions have the absolute

program memory address embedded into the instruction.
Since instructions are always stored on word boundaries,
the data contained in the instruction is a word address.
The word address is written to PC<20:1> which
accesses the desired byte address in program memory.
Instruction #2 in Figure 6-6 shows how the instruction,
GOTO 0006h, is encoded in the program memory.
Program branch instructions, which encode a relative
address offset, operate in the same manner. The offset
value stored in a branch instruction represents the
number of single-word instructions that the PC will be
offset by. Section 26.0 Instruction Set Summary
provides further details of the instruction set.

TWO-WORD INSTRUCTIONS
The standard PIC18 instruction set has four, two-word

instructions: CALL, MOVFF, GOTO and LSFR. In all
cases, the second word of the instructions always has
1111 as its four Most Significant bits (MSbs); the other
12 bits are literal data, usually a data memory address.
The use of 1111 in the 4 MSbs of an instruction
specifies a special form of NOP. If the instruction is
executed in proper sequence, immediately after the
first word, the data in the second word is accessed and

used by the instruction sequence. If the first word is

skipped, for some reason, and the second word is
executed by itself, a NOP is executed instead. This is
necessary for cases when the two-word instruction is
preceded by a conditional instruction that changes the
PC. Example 6-4 shows how this works.

Note:
Data Memory Organization

The operation of some aspects of data
memory is changed when the PIC18
extended instruction set is enabled. See
Section 6.6 Data Memory and the
Extended Instruction Set for more
information.
The data memory in PIC18 devices is implemented as

static RAM. Each register in the data memory has a
12-bit address, allowing up to 4096 bytes of addressable
memory. The memory space is divided into 16 banks
that contain 256 bytes each. All of the PIC18F97J60
family devices implement all available banks and provide 3808 bytes of data memory available to the user.
Figure 6-7 shows the data memory organization for the
devices.
The data memory contains Special Function Registers
(SFRs) and General Purpose Registers (GPRs). The
SFRs are used for control and status of the controller
and peripheral functions, while GPRs are used for data
storage and scratchpad operations in the users
application. Any read of an unimplemented location will
read as 0s.
The instruction set and architecture allow operations
across all banks. The entire data memory may be
accessed by Direct, Indirect or Indexed Addressing
modes. Addressing modes are discussed later in this
section.
To ensure that commonly used registers (most SFRs
and select GPRs) can be accessed in a single cycle,
PIC18 devices implement an Access Bank. This is a
256-byte memory space that provides fast access to
the majority of SFRs and the lower portion of GPR
Bank 0 without using the BSR. Section 6.3.2 Access
Bank provides a detailed description of the Access
RAM.
6.3.1
BANK SELECT REGISTER
Large areas of data memory require an efficient

addressing scheme to make rapid access to any
address possible. Ideally, this means that an entire
address does not need to be provided for each read or
write operation. For PIC18 devices, this is accomplished with a RAM banking scheme. This divides the
memory space into 16 contiguous banks of 256 bytes.
Depending on the instruction, each location can be
addressed directly by its full 12-bit address, or an 8-bit
low-order address and a 4-bit Bank Pointer.
Most instructions in the PIC18 instruction set make use
of the Bank Pointer, known as the Bank Select Register
(BSR). This SFR holds the 4 Most Significant bits of a
locations address; the instruction itself includes the
8 Least Significant bits (LSbs). Only the four lower bits
of the BSR are implemented (BSR3:BSR0). The upper
four bits are unused; they will always read 0 and cannot be written to. The BSR can be loaded directly by
using the MOVLB instruction.
The value of the BSR indicates the bank in data memory.
The 8 bits in the instruction show the location in the bank
and can be thought of as an offset from the banks lower
boundary. The relationship between the BSRs value
and the bank division in data memory is shown in
Figure 6-8.
Since up to 16 registers may share the same low-order
address, the user must always be careful to ensure that
the proper bank is selected before performing a data
read or write. For example, writing what should be
program data to an 8-bit address of F9h, while the BSR
is 0Fh, will end up resetting the program counter.
While any bank can be selected, only those banks that
are actually implemented can be read or written to.
Writes to unimplemented banks are ignored, while
reads from unimplemented banks will return 0s. Even
so, the STATUS register will still be affected as if the
operation was successful. The data memory map in
Figure 6-7 indicates which banks are implemented.
In the core PIC18 instruction set, only the MOVFF
instruction fully specifies the 12-bit address of the
source and target registers. This instruction ignores the
BSR completely when it executes. All other instructions
include only the low-order address as an operand and
must use either the BSR or the Access Bank to locate
their target registers.

The Access RAM bit of the instruction can be used to force an override of the selected bank (BSR3:BSR0)
to the registers of the Access Bank.
The MOVFF instruction embeds the entire 12-bit address in the instruction.
ACCESS BANK
While the use of the BSR with an embedded 8-bit

address allows users to address the entire range of
data memory, it also means that the user must always
ensure that the correct bank is selected. Otherwise,
data may be read from or written to the wrong location.
This can be disastrous if a GPR is the intended target
of an operation but an SFR is written to instead.
Verifying and/or changing the BSR for each read or
write to data memory can become very inefficient.
To streamline access for the most commonly used data
memory locations, the data memory is configured with
an Access Bank, which allows users to access a
mapped block of memory without specifying a BSR.
The Access Bank consists of the first 96 bytes of
memory (00h-5Fh) in Bank 0 and the last 160 bytes of
memory (60h-FFh) in Bank 15. The lower block is
known as the Access RAM and is composed of
GPRs. The upper block is where the devices SFRs are
mapped. These two areas are mapped contiguously in
the Access Bank and can be addressed in a linear
fashion by an 8-bit address (Figure 6-7).
The Access Bank is used by core PIC18 instructions
that include the Access RAM bit (the a parameter in
the instruction). When a is equal to 1, the instruction
uses the BSR and the 8-bit address included in the
opcode for the data memory address. When a is 0,
however, the instruction is forced to use the Access
Bank address map; the current value of the BSR is
ignored entirely.
DS39762F-page 88
FFh
00h
Using this forced addressing allows the instruction to

operate on a data address in a single cycle without
updating the BSR first. For 8-bit addresses of 60h and
above, this means that users can evaluate and operate
on SFRs more efficiently. The Access RAM below 60h
is a good place for data values that the user might need
to access rapidly, such as immediate computational
results or common program variables. Access RAM
also allows for faster and more code efficient context
saving and switching of variables.
The mapping of the Access Bank is slightly different
when the extended instruction set is enabled (XINST
Configuration bit = 1). This is discussed in more detail
in Section 6.6.3 Mapping the Access Bank in
Indexed Literal Offset Mode.
6.3.3
GENERAL PURPOSE
REGISTER FILE
PIC18 devices may have banked memory in the GPR

area. This is data RAM which is available for use by all
instructions. GPRs start at the bottom of Bank 0
(address 000h) and grow upwards towards the bottom
of the SFR area. GPRs are not initialized by a
Power-on Reset and are unchanged on all other
Resets.
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
6.3.4
SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers (SFRs) are registers

used by the CPU and peripheral modules for controlling
the desired operation of the device. These registers are
implemented as static RAM.
The main group of SFRs start at the top of data memory
(FFFh) and extend downward to occupy more than the
top half of Bank 15 (F60h to FFFh). These SFRs can
be classified into two sets: those associated with the
core device functionality (ALU, Resets and interrupts)
and those related to the peripheral functions. The
TABLE 6-3:
Reset and Interrupt registers are described in their

respective chapters, while the ALUs STATUS register
is described later in this section. Registers related to
the operation of the peripheral features are described
in the chapter for that peripheral.
The SFRs are typically distributed among the
peripherals whose functions they control. Unused SFR
locations are unimplemented and read as 0s. A list of
SFRs is given in Table 6-3; a full description is provided
in Table 6-5.

ETHERNET SFRs
Note:
In addition to the standard SFR set in Bank 15,

members of the PIC18F97J60 family have a second
set of SFRs. This group, associated exclusively with
the Ethernet module, occupies the top half of Bank 14
(E80h to EFFh).
TABLE 6-4:
To improve performance, frequently

accessed Ethernet registers are located in
the standard SFR bank (F60h through
FFFh).
A complete list of Ethernet SFRs is given in Table 6-4.

All SFRs are fully described in Table 6-5.

STATUS REGISTER
The STATUS register, shown in Register 6-3, contains

the arithmetic status of the ALU. The STATUS register
can be the operand for any instruction, as with any
other register. If the STATUS register is the destination
for an instruction that affects the Z, DC, C, OV or N bits,
then the write to these five bits is disabled.
These bits are set or cleared according to the device
logic. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the
STATUS register as destination may be different than
intended. For example, CLRF STATUS will set the Z bit
but leave the other bits unchanged. The STATUS
REGISTER 6-3:
register then reads back as 000u u1uu. It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF, SWAPF, MOVFF
and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the STATUS
register because these instructions do not affect the Z,
C, DC, OV or N bits in the STATUS register.
For other instructions not affecting any Status bits, see
the instruction set summaries in Table 26-2 and
Table 26-3.
Note:
The C and DC bits operate as a Borrow

and Digit Borrow bit respectively, in
subtraction.

Note:
Data Addressing Modes

The execution of some instructions in the
core PIC18 instruction set are changed
when the PIC18 extended instruction set is
enabled. See Section 6.6 Data Memory
and the Extended Instruction Set for
more information.
While the program memory can be addressed in only

one way, through the program counter, information in
the data memory space can be addressed in several
ways. For most instructions, the addressing mode is
fixed. Other instructions may use up to three modes,
depending on which operands are used and whether or
not the extended instruction set is enabled.
The addressing modes are:
Inherent
Literal
Direct
Indirect
An additional addressing mode, Indexed Literal Offset,
is available when the extended instruction set is
enabled (XINST Configuration bit = 1). Its operation is
discussed in greater detail in Section 6.6.1 Indexed
Addressing with Literal Offset.
6.4.1
INHERENT AND LITERAL

ADDRESSING
Many PIC18 control instructions do not need any

argument at all. They either perform an operation that
globally affects the device, or they operate implicitly on
one register. This addressing mode is known as Inherent
Addressing. Examples include SLEEP, RESET and DAW.
Other instructions work in a similar way, but require an
additional explicit argument in the opcode. This is
known as Literal Addressing mode because they
require some literal value as an argument. Examples
include ADDLW and MOVLW, which respectively, add or
move a literal value to the W register. Other examples
include CALL and GOTO, which include a 20-bit
program memory address.
6.4.2
DIRECT ADDRESSING
Direct Addressing mode specifies all or part of the

source and/or destination address of the operation
within the opcode itself. The options are specified by
the arguments accompanying the instruction.
In the core PIC18 instruction set, bit-oriented and
byte-oriented instructions use some version of Direct
Addressing by default. All of these instructions include
some 8-bit literal address as their Least Significant
Byte. This address specifies either a register address in
one of the banks of data RAM (Section 6.3.3 General
Purpose Register File) or a location in the Access
Bank (Section 6.3.2 Access Bank) as the data
source for the instruction.
DS39762F-page 98
The Access RAM bit, a, determines how the address

is interpreted. When a is 1, the contents of the BSR
(Section 6.3.1 Bank Select Register) are used with
the address to determine the complete 12-bit address
of the register. When a is 0, the address is interpreted
as being a register in the Access Bank. Addressing that
uses the Access RAM is sometimes also known as
Direct Forced Addressing mode.
A few instructions, such as MOVFF, include the entire
12-bit address (either source or destination) in their
opcodes. In these cases, the BSR is ignored entirely.
The destination of the operations results is determined
by the destination bit, d. When d is 1, the results are
stored back in the source register, overwriting its original contents. When d is 0, the results are stored in
the W register. Instructions without the d argument
have a destination that is implicit in the instruction.
Their destination is either the target register being
operated on or the W register.
6.4.3
INDIRECT ADDRESSING
Indirect Addressing mode allows the user to access a

location in data memory without giving a fixed address
in the instruction. This is done by using File Select
Registers (FSRs) as pointers to the locations to be read
or written to. Since the FSRs are themselves located in
RAM as Special Function Registers, they can also be
directly manipulated under program control. This
makes FSRs very useful in implementing data
structures, such as tables and arrays in data memory.
The registers for Indirect Addressing are also
implemented with Indirect File Operands (INDFs) that
permit automatic manipulation of the pointer value with
auto-incrementing, auto-decrementing or offsetting
with another value. This allows for efficient code using
loops, such as the example of clearing an entire RAM
bank in Example 6-5. It also enables users to perform
Indexed Addressing and other Stack Pointer
operations for program memory in data memory.

6.4.3.1
FSR Registers and the

INDF Operand
SFR space but are not physically implemented. Reading

or writing to a particular INDF register actually accesses
its corresponding FSR register pair. A read from INDF1,
for example, reads the data at the address indicated by
FSR1H:FSR1L. Instructions that use the INDF registers
as operands actually use the contents of their
corresponding FSR as a pointer to the instructions
target. The INDF operand is just a convenient way of
using the pointer.
At the core of Indirect Addressing are three sets of

registers: FSR0, FSR1 and FSR2. Each represents a
pair of 8-bit registers: FSRnH and FSRnL. The four
upper bits of the FSRnH register are not used, so each
FSR pair holds a 12-bit value. This represents a value
that can address the entire range of the data memory
in a linear fashion. The FSR register pairs, then, serve
as pointers to data memory locations.
Because Indirect Addressing uses a full, 12-bit

address, data RAM banking is not necessary. Thus, the
current contents of the BSR and Access RAM bit have
no effect on determining the target address.
Indirect Addressing is accomplished with a set of Indirect

File Operands: INDF0 through INDF2. These can be
thought of as virtual registers. They are mapped in the

FSR Registers and POSTINC,

POSTDEC, PREINC and PLUSW
In addition to the INDF operand, each FSR register pair

also has four additional indirect operands. Like INDF,
these are virtual registers that cannot be indirectly
read or written to. Accessing these registers actually
accesses the associated FSR register pair, but also
performs a specific action on its stored value. They are:
POSTDEC: accesses the FSR value, then
automatically decrements it by 1 afterwards
POSTINC: accesses the FSR value, then
automatically increments it by 1 afterwards
PREINC: increments the FSR value by 1, then
uses it in the operation
PLUSW: adds the signed value of the W register
(range of -128 to 127) to that of the FSR and uses
the new value in the operation
In this context, accessing an INDF register uses the
value in the FSR registers without changing them.
Similarly, accessing a PLUSW register gives the FSR
value offset by the value in the W register; neither value
is actually changed in the operation. Accessing the
other virtual registers changes the value of the FSR
registers.
Operations on the FSRs with POSTDEC, POSTINC
and PREINC affect the entire register pair; that is, rollovers of the FSRnL register, from FFh to 00h, carry
over to the FSRnH register. On the other hand, results
of these operations do not change the value of any
flags in the STATUS register (e.g., Z, N, OV, etc.).
The PLUSW register can be used to implement a form
of Indexed Addressing in the data memory space. By
manipulating the value in the W register, users can
reach addresses that are fixed offsets from pointer
addresses. In some applications, this can be used to
implement some powerful program control structure,
such as software stacks, inside of data memory.
6.4.3.3
Operations by FSRs on FSRs
Indirect Addressing operations that target other FSRs, or

virtual registers, represent special cases. For example,
using an FSR to point to one of the virtual registers will
not result in successful operation. As a specific case,
assume that the FSR0H:FSR0L pair contains FE7h, the
address of INDF1. Attempts to read the value of the
INDF1, using INDF0 as an operand, will return 00h.
Attempts to write to INDF1, using INDF0 as the operand,
will result in a NOP.
DS39762F-page 100
On the other hand, using the virtual registers to write to

an FSR pair may not occur as planned. In these cases,
the value will be written to the FSR pair but without any
incrementing or decrementing. Thus, writing to INDF2
or POSTDEC2 will write the same value to the
FSR2H:FSR2L pair.
Since the FSRs are physical registers mapped in the
SFR space, they can be manipulated through all direct
operations. Users should proceed cautiously when
working on these registers, particularly if their code
uses Indirect Addressing.
Similarly, operations by Indirect Addressing are generally permitted on all other SFRs. Users should exercise
the appropriate caution that they do not inadvertently
change settings that might affect the operation of the
device.
6.5
Program Memory and the

Extended Instruction Set
The operation of program memory is unaffected by the

use of the extended instruction set.
Enabling the extended instruction set adds five
additional two-word commands to the existing PIC18
instruction set: ADDFSR, CALLW, MOVSF, MOVSS and
SUBFSR. These instructions are executed as described
in Section 6.2.4 Two-Word Instructions.
6.6
Data Memory and the Extended

Instruction Set
Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set (XINST

Configuration bit = 1) significantly changes certain
aspects of data memory and its addressing. Specifically,
the use of the Access Bank for many of the core PIC18
instructions is different. This is due to the introduction of
a new addressing mode for the data memory space.
This mode also alters the behavior of Indirect
Addressing using FSR2 and its associated operands.
What does not change is just as important. The size of
the data memory space is unchanged, as well as its
linear addressing. The SFR map remains the same.
Core PIC18 instructions can still operate in both Direct
and Indirect Addressing mode; inherent and literal
instructions do not change at all. Indirect Addressing
with FSR0 and FSR1 also remains unchanged.
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
6.6.1
INDEXED ADDRESSING WITH

LITERAL OFFSET
Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set changes

the behavior of Indirect Addressing using the FSR2
register pair and its associated file operands. Under the
proper conditions, instructions that use the Access
Bank that is, most bit-oriented and byte-oriented
instructions can invoke a form of Indexed Addressing
using an offset specified in the instruction. This special
addressing mode is known as Indexed Addressing with
Literal Offset or Indexed Literal Offset mode.
When using the extended instruction set, this
addressing mode requires the following:
The use of the Access Bank is forced (a = 0);
and
The file address argument is less than or equal to
5Fh.
Under these conditions, the file address of the
instruction is not interpreted as the lower byte of an
address (used with the BSR in Direct Addressing) or as
an 8-bit address in the Access Bank. Instead, the value
is interpreted as an offset value to an Address Pointer
specified by FSR2. The offset and the contents of
FSR2 are added to obtain the target address of the
operation.
6.6.2
INSTRUCTIONS AFFECTED BY
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE
Any of the core PIC18 instructions that can use Direct

Addressing are potentially affected by the Indexed Literal
Offset Addressing mode. This includes all byte-oriented
and bit-oriented instructions, or almost half of the
standard PIC18 instruction set. Instructions that only use
Inherent or Literal Addressing modes are unaffected.
Additionally, byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions
are not affected if they use the Access Bank (Access
RAM bit is 1) or include a file address of 60h or above.
Instructions meeting these criteria will continue to
execute as before. A comparison of the different possible
addressing modes when the extended instruction set is
enabled is shown in Figure 6-10.
Those who desire to use byte-oriented or bit-oriented
instructions in the Indexed Literal Offset mode should
note the changes to assembler syntax for this mode.
This is described in more detail in Section 26.2.1
Extended Instruction Syntax.

6.6.3
MAPPING THE ACCESS BANK IN

The use of Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode

effectively changes how the lower part of Access RAM
(00h to 5Fh) is mapped. Rather than containing just the
contents of the bottom part of Bank 0, this mode maps
the contents from Bank 0 and a user-defined window
that can be located anywhere in the data memory
space. The value of FSR2 establishes the lower
boundary of the addresses mapped into the window,
while the upper boundary is defined by FSR2 plus 95
(5Fh). Addresses in the Access RAM above 5Fh are
mapped as previously described (see Section 6.3.2
Access Bank). An example of Access Bank
remapping in this addressing mode is shown in
Figure 6-11.
FIGURE 6-11:
Remapping of the Access Bank applies only to operations using the Indexed Literal Offset mode. Operations
that use the BSR (Access RAM bit is 1) will continue
to use Direct Addressing as before. Any indirect or
indexed operation that explicitly uses any of the indirect
file operands (including FSR2) will continue to operate
as standard Indirect Addressing. Any instruction that
uses the Access Bank, but includes a register address
of greater than 05Fh, will use Direct Addressing and
the normal Access Bank map.
6.6.4
BSR IN INDEXED LITERAL

OFFSET MODE
Although the Access Bank is remapped when the

extended instruction set is enabled, the operation of the
BSR remains unchanged. Direct Addressing, using the
BSR to select the data memory bank, operates in the
same manner as previously described.

FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
7.1
Table Reads and Table Writes
The Flash program memory is readable, writable and

erasable during normal operation over the entire VDD
range.
In order to read and write program memory, there are

two operations that allow the processor to move bytes
between the program memory space and the data RAM:
A read from program memory is executed on one byte

at a time. A write to program memory is executed on
blocks of 64 bytes at a time. Program memory is
erased in blocks of 1024 bytes at a time. A Bulk Erase
operation may not be issued from user code.
Table Read (TBLRD)

Table Write (TBLWT)
Writing or erasing program memory will cease

instruction fetches until the operation is complete. The
program memory cannot be accessed during the write
or erase, therefore, code cannot execute. An internal
programming timer terminates program memory writes
and erases.
A value written to program memory does not need to be
a valid instruction. Executing a program memory
location that forms an invalid instruction results in a
NOP.
The program memory space is 16 bits wide, while the

data RAM space is 8 bits wide. Table reads and table
writes move data between these two memory spaces
through an 8-bit register (TABLAT).
Table read operations retrieve data from program
memory and place it into the data RAM space.
Figure 7-1 shows the operation of a table read with
program memory and data RAM.
Table write operations store data from the data memory
space into holding registers in program memory. The
procedure to write the contents of the holding registers
into program memory is detailed in Section 7.5 Writing
to Flash Program Memory. Figure 7-2 shows the
operation of a table write with program memory and data
RAM.
Table operations work with byte entities. A table block
containing data, rather than program instructions, is not
required to be word-aligned. Therefore, a table block can
start and end at any byte address. If a table write is being
used to write executable code into program memory,
program instructions will need to be word-aligned.

Section 7.5 Writing to Flash Program Memory.
Control Registers
Several control registers are used in conjunction with

the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These include the:
EECON1 register
EECON2 register
TABLAT register
TBLPTR registers
7.2.1
EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS
The EECON1 register (Register 7-1) is the control

register for memory accesses. The EECON2 register is
not a physical register; it is used exclusively in the
memory write and erase sequences. Reading
EECON2 will read all 0s.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.

On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The WRERR bit is
set in hardware when the WR bit is set, and cleared
when the internal programming timer expires and the
write operation is complete.
Note:
During normal operation, the WRERR is

read as 1. This can indicate that a write
operation was prematurely terminated by
a Reset, or a write operation was
attempted improperly.
The WR control bit initiates write operations. The bit

cannot be cleared, only set, in software; it is cleared in
hardware at the completion of the write operation.
The FREE bit, when set, will allow a program memory

erase operation. When FREE is set, the erase
operation is initiated on the next WR command. When
FREE is clear, only writes are enabled.

TABLE LATCH REGISTER (TABLAT)
7.2.4
The Table Latch (TABLAT) is an 8-bit register mapped

into the SFR space. The Table Latch register is used to
hold 8-bit data during data transfers between program
memory and data RAM.
7.2.3
TBLPTR is used in reads, writes and erases of the

Flash program memory.
When a TBLRD is executed, all 22 bits of the TBLPTR
determine which byte is read from program memory
into TABLAT.
TABLE POINTER REGISTER

(TBLPTR)
When a TBLWT is executed, the six LSbs of the Table

Pointer register (TBLPTR<5:0>) determine which of
the 64 program memory holding registers is written to.
When the timed write to program memory begins (via
the WR bit), the 15 MSbs of the TBLPTR
(TBLPTR<20:6>) determine which program memory
block of 64 bytes is written to. For more detail, see
Section 7.5 Writing to Flash Program Memory.
The Table Pointer (TBLPTR) register addresses a byte

within the program memory. The TBLPTR is comprised
of three SFR registers: Table Pointer Upper Byte, Table
Pointer High Byte and Table Pointer Low Byte
(TBLPTRU:TBLPTRH:TBLPTRL). These three registers join to form a 22-bit wide pointer. The low-order
21 bits allow the device to address up to 2 Mbytes of
program memory space. The 22nd bit allows access to
the Device ID and Configuration bits.
When an erase of program memory is executed, the

11 MSbs of the Table Pointer register (TBLPTR<20:10>)
point to the 1024-byte block that will be erased. The
Least Significant bits (TBLPTR<9:0>) are ignored.
The Table Pointer register, TBLPTR, is used by the

TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These instructions can
update the TBLPTR in one of four ways based on the
table operation. These operations are shown in
Table 7-1. The table operations on the TBLPTR only
affect the low-order 21 bits.

Reading the Flash Program

Memory
The TBLRD instruction is used to retrieve data from

program memory and places it into data RAM. Table
reads from program memory are performed one byte at
a time.
FIGURE 7-4:
The internal program memory is typically organized by

words. The Least Significant bit of the address selects
between the high and low bytes of the word. Figure 7-4

Erasing Flash Program Memory
The minimum erase block is 1024 bytes. Only through

the use of an external programmer, or through ICSP
control, can larger blocks of program memory be Bulk
Erased. Word Erase in the Flash array is not supported.
When initiating an erase sequence from the microcontroller itself, a block of 1024 bytes of program
memory is erased. The Most Significant 11 bits of the
TBLPTR<20:10> point to the block being erased.
TBLPTR<9:0> are ignored.
The EECON1 register commands the erase operation.
The WREN bit must be set to enable write operations.
The FREE bit is set to select an erase operation.
For protection, the write initiate sequence for EECON2
must be used.
A long write is necessary for erasing the internal
Flash. Instruction execution is halted while in a long
write cycle. The long write will be terminated by the
internal programming timer. An on-chip timer controls
the erase time. The write/erase voltages are
generated by an on-chip charge pump, rated to
operate over most of the voltage range of the device.
See Parameter D132B (VPEW) for specific limits.

An on-chip timer controls the write time. The

write/erase voltages are generated by an on-chip
charge pump, rated to operate over most of the
voltage range of the device. See Parameter D132B
(VPEW) for specific limits.
Writing to Flash Program Memory
The minimum programming block is 32 words or

64 bytes. Word or byte programming is not supported.
Table writes are used internally to load the holding
registers needed to program the Flash memory. There
are 64 holding registers used by the table writes for
programming.
Note 1: Unlike previous PIC MCU devices,

members of the PIC18F97J60 family do
not reset the holding registers after a
write occurs. The holding registers must
be cleared or overwritten before a
programming sequence.
Since the Table Latch (TABLAT) is only a single byte, the

TBLWT instruction may need to be executed 64 times for
each programming operation. All of the table write
operations will essentially be short writes because only
the holding registers are written. At the end of updating
the 64 holding registers, the EECON1 register must be
written to in order to start the programming operation
with a long write.
2: To maintain the endurance of the program memory cells, each Flash byte
should not be programmed more than
one time between erase operations.
Before attempting to modify the contents
of the target cell a second time, a Row
Erase of the target row, or a Bulk Erase of
the entire memory, must be performed.
The long write is necessary for programming the

internal Flash. Instruction execution is halted while in a
long write cycle. The long write will be terminated by
the internal programming timer.

WRITE VERIFY
7.5.4
Depending on the application, good programming

practice may dictate that the value written to the
memory should be verified against the original value.
This should be used in applications where excessive
writes can stress bits near the specification limit.
7.5.3
UNEXPECTED TERMINATION OF
WRITE OPERATION
If a write is terminated by an unplanned event, such as

loss of power or an unexpected Reset, the memory
location just programmed should be verified and reprogrammed if needed. If the write operation is interrupted
by a MCLR Reset, or a WDT Time-out Reset during
normal operation, the user can check the WRERR bit
and rewrite the location(s) as needed.

EXTERNAL MEMORY BUS
Note:
The external memory bus is not

implemented on 64-pin and 80-pin
devices.
The External Memory Bus (EMB) allows the device to

access external memory devices (such as Flash,
EPROM, SRAM, etc.) as program or data memory. It
supports both 8 and 16-Bit Data Width modes, and
three address widths of up to 20 bits.
TABLE 8-1:
Name
The bus is implemented with 28 pins, multiplexed

across four I/O ports. Three ports (PORTD, PORTE
and PORTH) are multiplexed with the address/data bus
for a total of 20 available lines, while PORTJ is
multiplexed with the bus control signals.
A list of the pins and their functions is provided in
Table 8-1.

External Memory Bus Control
The operation of the interface is controlled by the

MEMCON register (Register 8-1). This register is
available in all program memory operating modes,
except Microcontroller mode. In this mode, the register
is disabled and cannot be written to.
The EBDIS bit (MEMCON<7>) controls the operation
of the bus and related port functions. Clearing EBDIS
enables the interface and disables the I/O functions of
the ports, as well as any other functions multiplexed to
those pins. Setting the bit enables the I/O ports and
other functions, but allows the interface to override
everything else on the pins when an external memory
operation is required. By default, the external bus is
always enabled and disables all other I/Os.
REGISTER 8-1:
The operation of the EBDIS bit is also influenced by the

program memory mode being used. This is discussed
in more detail in Section 8.5 Program Memory
Modes and the External Memory Bus.
The WAIT bits allow for the addition of Wait states to
external memory operations. The use of these bits is
discussed in Section 8.3 Wait States.
The WM bits select the particular operating mode used
when the bus is operating in 16-Bit Data Width mode.
These operating modes are discussed in more detail in
Section 8.6 16-Bit Data Width Modes. The WM bits
have no effect when an 8-Bit Data Width mode is
selected.

8.2
8.2.1
Address and Data Width
The PIC18F97J60 family of devices can be independently configured for different address and data widths
on the same memory bus. Both address and data
widths are set by Configuration bits in the CONFIG3L
register. As Configuration bits, this means that these
options can only be configured by programming the
device and are not controllable in software.
The BW bit selects an 8-bit or 16-bit data bus width.
Setting this bit (default) selects a data width of 16 bits.
The EMB<1:0> bits determine both the program
memory operating mode and the address bus width. The
available options are 20-bit, 16-bit and 12-bit, as well as
the default Microcontroller mode (external bus disabled).
Selecting a 16-bit or 12-bit width makes a corresponding
number of high-order lines available for I/O functions.
These pins are no longer affected by the setting of the
EBDIS bit. For example, selecting a 16-Bit Addressing
mode (EMB<1:0> = 01) disables A<19:16> and allows
the PORTH<3:0> bits to function without interruptions
from the bus. Using the smaller address widths allows
users to tailor the memory bus to the size of the external
memory space for a particular design, while freeing up
pins for dedicated I/O operation.
Because the EMB bits have the effect of disabling pins for
memory bus operations, it is important to always select
an address width at least equal to the data width. If a
12-bit address width is used with a 16-bit data width, the
upper four bits of data will not be available in the bus.
All combinations of address and data widths require
multiplexing of address and data information on the
same lines. The address and data multiplexing, as well
as I/O ports made available by the use of smaller
address widths, are summarized in Table 8-2.
TABLE 8-2:
Data Width
By default, the address presented on the external bus

is the value of the PC. In practical terms, this means
that addresses in the external memory device below
the top of on-chip memory are unavailable to the microcontroller. To access these physical locations, the glue
logic between the microcontroller and the external
memory must somehow translate addresses.
To simplify the interface, the external bus offers an
extension of Extended Microcontroller mode that
automatically performs address shifting. This feature is
controlled by the EASHFT Configuration bit. Setting
this bit offsets addresses on the bus by the size of the
microcontrollers on-chip program memory and sets
the bottom address at 0000h. This allows the device to
use the entire range of physical addresses of the
external memory.
8.2.2
This addressing mode is available in both 8-Bit Data

Width and certain 16-Bit Data Width modes. Additional
details are provided in Section 8.6.3 16-Bit Byte
Select Mode and Section 8.7 8-Bit Data Width
Mode.

As an extension of 20-bit address width operation, the

address. The UB and LB control signals may also be
used with certain memory devices to select the upper
and lower bytes within a 16-bit wide data word.

8.3
Wait States
While it may be assumed that external memory devices

will operate at the microcontroller clock rate, this is
often not the case. In fact, many devices require longer
times to write or retrieve data than the time allowed by
the execution of table read or table write operations.
To compensate for this, the external memory bus can
be configured to add a fixed delay to each table operation using the bus. Wait states are enabled by setting
the WAIT Configuration bit. When enabled, the amount
of delay is set by the WAIT<1:0> bits (MEMCON<5:4>).
The delay is based on multiples of microcontroller
instruction cycle time and is added following the
instruction cycle when the table operation is executed.
The range is from no delay to 3 TCY (default value).
8.4
Port Pin Weak Pull-ups
With the exception of the upper address lines,

A<19:16>, the pins associated with the external memory bus are equipped with weak pull-ups. The pull-ups
are controlled by bits located at LATA<7:6> and
PORTA<7>. They are named RDPU, REPU and RJPU
and control pull-ups on PORTD, PORTE and PORTJ,
respectively. Setting one of these bits enables the
corresponding pull-ups for that port. All pull-ups are
disabled by default on all device Resets.
In Extended Microcontroller mode, the port pull-ups
can be useful in preserving the memory state on the
external bus while the bus is temporarily disabled
(EBDIS = 1).
8.5
Program Memory Modes and the

External Memory Bus
The PIC18F97J60 family of devices is capable of

operating in one of two program memory modes, using
combinations of on-chip and external program memory.
The functions of the multiplexed port pins depend on
the program memory mode selected, as well as the
setting of the EBDIS bit.
In Microcontroller Mode, the bus is not active and the
pins have their port functions only. Writes to the
MEMCOM register are not permitted. The Reset value
of EBDIS (0) is ignored and the EMB pins behave as
I/O ports.
In Extended Microcontroller Mode, the external
program memory bus shares I/O port functions on the
pins. When the device is fetching, or doing table
read/table write operations on the external program
memory space, the pins will have the external bus
function.
If the device is fetching and accessing internal program
memory locations only, the EBDIS control bit will change
the pins from external memory to I/O port functions.
When EBDIS = 0, the pins function as the external bus.
When EBDIS = 1, the pins function as I/O ports.
DS39762F-page 118
If the device fetches or accesses external memory

while EBDIS = 1, the pins will switch to the external
bus. If the EBDIS bit is set by a program executing from
external memory, the action of setting the bit will be
delayed until the program branches into the internal
memory. At that time, the pins will change from external
bus to I/O ports.
If the device is executing out of internal memory when
EBDIS = 0, the memory bus address/data and control
pins will not be active. They will go to a state where the
active address/data pins are tri-state; the CE, OE,
WRH, WRL, UB and LB signals are 1, and ALE and
BA0 are 0. Note that only those pins associated with
the current address width are forced to tri-state; the
other pins continue to function as I/O. In the case of
16-bit address width, for example, only AD<15:0>
(PORTD and PORTE) are affected; A<19:16>
(PORTH<3:0>) continue to function as I/O.
In all external memory modes, the bus takes priority
over any other peripherals that may share pins with it.
This includes the Parallel Slave Port and serial
communication modules, which would otherwise take
priority over the I/O port.
8.6
16-Bit Data Width Modes
In 16-Bit Data Width mode, the external memory

interface can be connected to external memories in
three different configurations:
16-Bit Byte Write
16-Bit Word Write
16-Bit Byte Select
The configuration to be used is determined by
the WM<1:0> bits in the MEMCON register
(MEMCON<1:0>). These three different configurations
allow the designer maximum flexibility in using both
8-bit and 16-bit devices with 16-bit data.
For all 16-Bit Data Width modes, the Address Latch
Enable (ALE) pin indicates that the address bits,
AD<15:0>, are available in the external memory interface bus. Following the address latch, the Output
Enable signal (OE) will enable both bytes of program
memory at once to form a 16-bit instruction word. The
Chip Enable signal (CE) is active at any time that the
microcontroller accesses external memory, whether
reading or writing. It is inactive (asserted high)
whenever the device is in Sleep mode.
In Byte Select mode, JEDEC standard Flash memories
will require BA0 for the byte address line and one I/O
line to select between Byte and Word mode. The other
16-Bit Data Width modes do not need BA0. JEDEC
standard, static RAM memories will use the UB or LB
signals for byte selection.
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
8.6.1
16-BIT BYTE WRITE MODE
During a TBLWT instruction cycle, the TABLAT data is

presented on the upper and lower bytes of the
AD<15:0> bus. The appropriate WRH or WRL control
line is strobed on the LSb of the TBLPTR.
Figure 8-1 shows an example of 16-Bit Byte Write

mode for PIC18F97J60 family devices. This mode is
used for two separate 8-bit memories connected for
16-bit operation. This generally includes basic EPROM
and Flash devices. It allows table writes to byte-wide
external memories.

8.6.2
16-BIT WORD WRITE MODE
Figure 8-2 shows an example of 16-Bit Word Write

mode for PIC18F97J60 family devices. This mode is
used for word-wide memories, which include some of
the EPROM and Flash type memories. This mode
allows opcode fetches and table reads from all forms of
16-bit memory, and table writes to any type of
word-wide external memories. This method makes a
distinction between TBLWT cycles to even or odd
addresses.
During a TBLWT cycle to an even address
(TBLPTR<0> = 0), the TABLAT data is transferred to a
holding latch and the external address data bus is
tri-stated for the data portion of the bus cycle. No write
signals are activated.
FIGURE 8-2:
During a TBLWT cycle to an odd address

(TBLPTR<0> = 1), the TABLAT data is presented on
the upper byte of the AD<15:0> bus. The contents of
the holding latch are presented on the lower byte of the
AD<15:0> bus.
The WRH signal is strobed for each write cycle; the
WRL pin is unused. The signal on the BA0 pin indicates
the LSb of the TBLPTR but it is left unconnected.
Instead, the UB and LB signals are active to select both
bytes. The obvious limitation to this method is that the
table write must be done in pairs on a specific word
boundary to correctly write a word location.

Figure 8-3 shows an example of 16-Bit Byte Select

mode. This mode allows table write operations to
word-wide external memories with byte selection
capability. This generally includes both word-wide
Flash and SRAM devices.
During a TBLWT cycle, the TABLAT data is presented
on the upper and lower byte of the AD<15:0> bus. The
WRH signal is strobed for each write cycle; the WRL
pin is not used. The BA0 or UB/LB signals are used to
select the byte to be written based on the Least
Significant bit of the TBLPTR register.
FIGURE 8-3:
Flash and SRAM devices use different control signal

combinations to implement Byte Select mode. JEDEC
standard Flash memories require that a controller I/O
port pin be connected to the memorys BYTE/WORD
pin to provide the select signal. They also use the BA0
signal from the controller as a byte address. JEDEC
standard, static RAM memories, on the other hand, use
the UB or LB signals to select the byte.

will enable one byte of program memory for a portion of

the instruction cycle, then BA0 will change and the
second byte will be enabled to form the 16-bit instruction word. The Least Significant bit of the address, BA0,
must be connected to the memory devices in this
mode. The Chip Enable signal (CE) is active at any
time that the microcontroller accesses external
memory, whether reading or writing. It is inactive
(asserted high) whenever the device is in Sleep mode.
8-Bit Data Width Mode
In 8-Bit Data Width mode, the external memory bus

operates only in Multiplexed mode; that is, data shares
the eight Least Significant bits of the address bus.
Figure 8-6 shows an example of 8-Bit Multiplexed mode
for 100-pin devices. This mode is used for a single 8-bit
memory connected for 16-bit operation. The instructions
will be fetched as two 8-bit bytes on a shared
data/address bus. The two bytes are sequentially
fetched within one instruction cycle (TCY). Therefore, the
designer must choose external memory devices according to timing calculations based on 1/2 TCY (2 times the
instruction rate). For proper memory speed selection,
glue logic propagation delay times must be considered,
along with setup and hold times.
This process generally includes basic EPROM and

Flash devices. It allows table writes to byte-wide
external memories.
During a TBLWT instruction cycle, the TABLAT data is
presented on the upper and lower bytes of the
AD<15:0> bus. The appropriate level of the BA0 control
line is strobed on the LSb of the TBLPTR.
The Address Latch Enable (ALE) pin indicates that the

address bits, AD<15:0>, are available in the external
memory interface bus. The Output Enable signal (OE)

Operation in Power-Managed
Modes
In alternate power-managed Run modes, the external

bus continues to operate normally. If a clock source with
a lower speed is selected, bus operations will run at that
speed. In these cases, excessive access times for the
external memory may result if Wait states have been
enabled and added to external memory operations. If
operations in a lower power Run mode are anticipated,
user applications should provide memory access time
adjustments at the lower clock speeds.
In Sleep and Idle modes, the microcontroller core does

not need to access data; bus operations are
suspended. The state of the external bus is frozen, with
the address/data pins and most of the control pins
holding at the same state they were in when the mode
was invoked. The only potential changes are the CE,
LB and UB pins, which are held at logic high.

8 x 8 HARDWARE MULTIPLIER
9.1
Introduction
EXAMPLE 9-1:
MOVF
MULWF
All PIC18 devices include an 8 x 8 hardware multiplier

as part of the ALU. The multiplier performs an unsigned
operation and yields a 16-bit result that is stored in the
product register pair, PRODH:PRODL. The multipliers
operation does not affect any flags in the STATUS
register.
ARG1, W
ARG2
EXAMPLE 9-2:
Making multiplication a hardware operation allows it to

be completed in a single instruction cycle. This has the
advantages of higher computational throughput and
reduced code size for multiplication algorithms and
allows the PIC18 devices to be used in many applications previously reserved for digital signal processors.
A comparison of various hardware and software
multiply operations, along with the savings in memory
and execution time, is shown in Table 9-1.

when one of the arguments is already loaded in the
WREG register.
Example 9-2 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8 signed
multiplication. To account for the sign bits of the arguments, each arguments Most Significant bit (MSb) is
tested and the appropriate subtractions are done.

PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
10.0
INTERRUPTS
Members of the PIC18F97J60 family of devices have

multiple interrupt sources and an interrupt priority feature
that allows most interrupt sources to be assigned a
high-priority level or a low-priority level. The high-priority
interrupt vector is at 0008h and the low-priority interrupt
vector is at 0018h. High-priority interrupt events will
interrupt any low-priority interrupts that may be in
progress.
There are thirteen registers which are used to control
interrupt operation. These registers are:
RCON
INTCON
INTCON2
INTCON3
PIR1, PIR2, PIR3
PIE1, PIE2, PIE3
IPR1, IPR2, IPR3
It is recommended that the Microchip header files

supplied with MPLAB IDE be used for the symbolic bit
names in these registers. This allows the
assembler/compiler to automatically take care of the
placement of these bits within the specified register.
In general, interrupt sources have three bits to control
their operation. They are:
Flag bit to indicate that an interrupt event
occurred
Enable bit that allows program execution to
branch to the interrupt vector address when the
flag bit is set
Priority bit to select high priority or low priority
The interrupt priority feature is enabled by setting the
IPEN bit (RCON<7>). When interrupt priority is enabled,
there are two bits which enable interrupts globally.
Setting the GIEH bit (INTCON<7>) enables all interrupts
that have the priority bit set (high priority). Setting the
GIEL bit (INTCON<6>) enables all interrupts that have
the priority bit cleared (low priority). When the interrupt
flag, enable bit and appropriate Global Interrupt Enable
bit are set, the interrupt will vector immediately to
address, 0008h or 0018h, depending on the priority bit
setting. Individual interrupts can be disabled through
their corresponding enable bits.
When the IPEN bit is cleared (default state), the

interrupt priority feature is disabled and interrupts are
compatible with PIC mid-range devices. In
Compatibility mode, the interrupt priority bits for each
source have no effect. INTCON<6> is the PEIE bit
which enables/disables all peripheral interrupt sources.
INTCON<7> is the GIE bit which enables/disables all
interrupt sources. All interrupts branch to address,
0008h, in Compatibility mode.
When an interrupt is responded to, the Global Interrupt
Enable bit is cleared to disable further interrupts. If the
IPEN bit is cleared, this is the GIE bit. If interrupt priority
levels are used, this will be either the GIEH or GIEL bit.
High-priority interrupt sources can interrupt a
low-priority interrupt. Low-priority interrupts are not
processed while high-priority interrupts are in progress.
The return address is pushed onto the stack and the
PC is loaded with the interrupt vector address (0008h
or 0018h). Once in the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR),
the source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by polling the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bits must be
cleared in software before re-enabling interrupts to
avoid recursive interrupts.
The return from interrupt instruction, RETFIE, exits
the interrupt routine and sets the GIE bit (GIEH or GIEL
if priority levels are used) which re-enables interrupts.
For external interrupt events, such as the INTx pins or
the PORTB input change interrupt, the interrupt latency
will be three to four instruction cycles. The exact
latency is the same for one or two-cycle instructions.
Individual interrupt flag bits are set regardless of the
status of their corresponding enable bit or the GIE bit.
Note:
Do not use the MOVFF instruction to modify

any of the interrupt control registers while
any interrupt is enabled. Doing so may
cause erratic microcontroller behavior.

The PIE registers contain the individual enable bits for

the peripheral interrupts. Due to the number of
peripheral interrupt sources, there are three Peripheral

INTx Pin Interrupts
10.7
TMR0 Interrupt
External interrupts on the RB0/INT0/FLT0, RB1/INT1,

RB2/INT2 and RB3/INT3 pins are edge-triggered. If the
corresponding INTEDGx bit in the INTCON2 register is
set (= 1), the interrupt is triggered by a rising edge; if
the bit is clear, the trigger is on the falling edge. When
a valid edge appears on the RBx/INTx pin, the
corresponding flag bit, INTxIF, is set. This interrupt can
be disabled by clearing the corresponding enable bit,
INTxIE. Flag bit, INTxIF, must be cleared in software in
the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) before re-enabling
the interrupt.
In 8-bit mode (which is the default), an overflow in the

TMR0 register (FFh 00h) will set flag bit, TMR0IF. In
16-bit mode, an overflow in the TMR0H:TMR0L register
pair (FFFFh 0000h) will set TMR0IF. The interrupt
can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit,
TMR0IE (INTCON<5>). Interrupt priority for Timer0 is
determined by the value contained in the interrupt
priority bit, TMR0IP (INTCON2<2>). See Section 12.0
Timer0 Module for further details on the Timer0
module.
All external interrupts (INT0, INT1, INT2 and INT3) can

wake-up the processor from the power-managed
modes if bit, INTxIE, was set prior to going into the
power-managed modes. If the Global Interrupt Enable
bit, GIE, is set, the processor will branch to the interrupt
vector following wake-up.
10.8
Interrupt priority for INT1, INT2 and INT3 is determined

by the value contained in the Interrupt Priority bits,
INT1IP (INTCON3<6>), INT2IP (INTCON3<7>) and
INT3IP (INTCON2<1>). There is no priority bit
associated with INT0. It is always a high-priority
interrupt source.

PORTB Interrupt-on-Change
An input change on PORTB<7:4> sets flag bit, RBIF

(INTCON<0>). The interrupt can be enabled/disabled
by setting/clearing enable bit, RBIE (INTCON<3>).
Interrupt priority for PORTB interrupt-on-change is
determined by the value contained in the interrupt
priority bit, RBIP (INTCON2<0>).
10.9
Context Saving During Interrupts
During interrupts, the return PC address is saved on

the stack. Additionally, the WREG, STATUS and BSR
registers are saved on the Fast Return Stack (FSR). If
a fast return from interrupt is not used (see Section 6.3
Data Memory Organization), the user may need to
save the WREG, STATUS and BSR registers on entry
to the Interrupt Service Routine. Depending on the
users application, other registers may also need to be
saved. Example 10-1 saves and restores the WREG,
STATUS and BSR registers during an Interrupt Service
Routine.

I/O PORTS
11.1
I/O Port Pin Capabilities
Depending on the device selected and features

enabled, there are up to nine ports available. Some
pins of the I/O ports are multiplexed with an alternate
function from 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.
When developing an application, the capabilities of the

port pins must be considered. Outputs on some pins
have higher output drive strength than others. Similarly,
some pins can tolerate higher than VDD input levels.
Each port has three registers for its operation. These

registers are:
The output pin drive strengths vary for groups of pins

intended to meet the needs for a variety of applications.
PORTB and PORTC are designed to drive higher
loads, such as LEDs. The external memory interface
ports (PORTD, PORTE and PORTJ) are designed to
drive medium loads. All other ports are designed for
small loads, typically indication only. Table 11-1 summarizes the output capabilities. Refer to Section 28.0
Electrical Characteristics for more details.
TRIS register (Data Direction register)

PORT register (reads the levels on the pins of the
device)
LAT register (Output Latch register)
The Output Latch (LAT register) is useful for
read-modify-write operations on the value that the I/O
pins are driving.
A simplified model of a generic I/O port, without the
interfaces to other peripherals, is shown in Figure 11-1.

INPUT PINS AND VOLTAGE

CONSIDERATIONS
The voltage tolerance of pins used as device inputs is

dependent on the pins input function. Pins that are used
as digital only inputs are able to handle DC voltages up
to 5.5V, a level typical for digital logic circuits. In contrast,
pins that also have analog input functions of any kind
can only tolerate voltages up to VDD. Voltage excursions
beyond VDD on these pins are always to be avoided.
Table 11-2 summarizes the input capabilities. Refer to
Section 28.0 Electrical Characteristics for more
details.

The RA4 pin is multiplexed with the Timer0 module

clock input to become the RA4/T0CKI pin. The other
PORTA pins are multiplexed with the analog VREF+ and
VREF- inputs. The operation of pins, RA<5:0>, as A/D
Converter inputs is selected by clearing or setting the
PCFG<3:0> control bits in the ADCON1 register.
Note:
RA5 and RA<3:0> are configured as

analog inputs on any Reset and are read
as 0. RA4 is configured as a digital input.
The RA4/T0CKI pin is a Schmitt Trigger input. All other

PORTA pins have TTL input levels and full CMOS
output drivers.
The TRISA register controls the direction of the PORTA
pins, even when they are being used as analog inputs.
The user must ensure the bits in the TRISA register are
maintained set when using them as analog inputs.
The RA0 and RA1 pins can also be configured as the
outputs for the two Ethernet LED indicators. When
configured, these two pins are the only pins on PORTA
that are capable of high output drive levels.
Although the port is only six bits wide, PORTA<7> is
implemented as RJPU, the weak pull-up control bit for
PORTJ. In a similar fashion, the LATA<7:6> bits are
implemented, not as latch bits, but the pull-up control
bits, RDPU and REPU, for PORTD and PORTE.
Setting these bits enables the pull-ups for the corresponding port. Because their port pins are not used, the
TRISA<7:6> bits are not implemented.

PORTA, TRISA and

PORTA is a 6-bit wide, bidirectional port; it is fully

implemented on all devices. The corresponding Data

will make the corresponding PORTA pin an input (i.e.,
put the corresponding output driver in a
High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).

PORTB, TRISB and

LATB Registers
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port; it is fully

Direction register is TRISB. Setting a TRISB bit (= 1)
will make the corresponding PORTB pin an input (i.e.,
High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISB bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTB pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin). All
pins on PORTB are digital only and tolerate voltages up
to 5.5V.
The Output Latch register (LATB) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATB
PORTB.

Each of the PORTB pins has a weak internal pull-up. A

single control bit can turn on all of the pull-ups. This is
performed by clearing bit, RBPU (INTCON2<7>). The
weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port
pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are
disabled on all Resets.
DS39762F-page 148
Four of the PORTB pins (RB<7:4>) have an

interrupt-on-change feature. Only pins configured as
inputs can cause this interrupt to occur (i.e., any
RB<7:4> pin configured as an output is excluded from
the interrupt-on-change comparison). The input pins (of
RB<7:4>) are compared with the old value latched on
the last read of PORTB. The mismatch outputs of
RB<7:4> are ORed together to generate the RB Port
Change Interrupt Flag bit, RBIF (INTCON<0>).
This interrupt can wake the device from
power-managed modes. The user, in the Interrupt
Service Routine, can clear the interrupt in the following
manner:
a)
b)
Any read or write of PORTB (except with the

MOVFF (ANY), PORTB instruction). This will
end the mismatch condition.
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.
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.
For 100-pin devices operating in Extended Microcontroller mode, RB3 can be configured as the
alternate peripheral pin for the ECCP2 module and
Enhanced PWM Output 2A by clearing the CCP2MX
Configuration bit. If the devices are in Microcontroller
mode, the alternate assignment for ECCP2 is RE7. As
with other ECCP2 configurations, the user must ensure
that the TRISB<3> bit is set appropriately for the
intended operation.

PORTC, TRISC and

LATC Registers
PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port; it is fully

Direction register is TRISC. Setting a TRISC bit (= 1)
will make the corresponding PORTC pin an input (i.e.,
High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISC bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTC pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Only PORTC pins, RC2 through RC7, are digital only
pins and can tolerate input voltages up to 5.5V.
The Output Latch register (LATC) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATC
PORTC.
PORTC is multiplexed with several peripheral functions
(Table 11-7). The pins have Schmitt Trigger input
buffers. RC1 is normally configured by Configuration
bit, CCP2MX, as the default peripheral pin for the
ECCP2 module and Enhanced PWM output, P2A
(default state, CCP2MX = 1).
Note:
These pins are configured as digital inputs

on any device Reset.
The contents of the TRISC register are affected by

peripheral overrides. Reading TRISC always returns
the current contents, even though a peripheral device
may be overriding one or more of the pins.

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. The user should refer to the corresponding
peripheral section for the correct TRIS bit settings.

PORTD, TRISD and

LATD Registers
PORTD is implemented as a bidirectional port in two

ways:
64-pin and 80-pin devices: 3 bits (RD<2:0>)
100-pin devices: 8 bits (RD<7:0>)
The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISD.
Setting a TRISD bit (= 1) will make the corresponding
PORTD pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output
driver in a High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISD
bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTD pin an
output (i.e., put the contents of the output latch on the
selected pin). All pins on PORTD are digital only and
tolerate voltages up to 5.5V.
The Output Latch register (LATD) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATD
PORTD.
All pins on PORTD are implemented with Schmitt
Trigger input buffers. Each pin is individually
configurable as an input or output.
Note:

On 100-pin devices, PORTD is multiplexed with the

system bus as part of the external memory interface.
I/O port and other functions are only available when the
interface is disabled by setting the EBDIS bit
(MEMCON<7>). When the interface is enabled,
PORTD is the low-order byte of the multiplexed
address/data bus (AD<7:0>). The TRISD bits are also
overridden.
DS39762F-page 154
Each of the PORTD pins has a weak internal pull-up. A

performed by setting the RDPU bit (LATA<7>). The
disabled on all device Resets.
On 100-pin devices, PORTD can also be configured to
function as an 8-bit wide, parallel microprocessor port
by setting the PSPMODE control bit (PSPCON<4>). In
this mode, parallel port data takes priority over other
digital I/O (but not the external memory interface).
When the parallel port is active, the input buffers are
TTL. For more information, refer to Section 11.11
Parallel Slave Port (PSP).

PORTE, TRISE and

LATE Registers
PORTE is implemented as a bidirectional port in two

different ways:
64-pin devices: 6 bits wide (RE<5:0>)
80-pin and 100-pin devices: 8 bits wide (RE<7:0>)
The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISE.
Setting a TRISE bit (= 1) will make the corresponding
PORTE pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output
driver in a High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISE
bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTE pin an
selected pin). All pins on PORTE are digital only and
The Output Latch register (LATE) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATE
PORTE.
All pins on PORTE are implemented with Schmitt
Note:

On 100-pin devices, PORTE is multiplexed with the

system bus as part of the external memory interface.
I/O port and other functions are only available when the
interface is disabled by setting the EBDIS bit
(MEMCON<7>). When the interface is enabled,
PORTE is the high-order byte of the multiplexed
address/data bus (AD<15:8>). The TRISE bits are also
overridden.
Each of the PORTE pins has a weak internal pull-up. A
performed by setting bit, REPU (LATA<6>). The weak
pull-up is automatically turned off when the port pin is
configured as an output. The pull-ups are disabled on
all device Resets.
PORTE is also multiplexed with Enhanced PWM

Outputs B and C for ECCP1 and ECCP3 and Outputs
B, C and D for ECCP2. For 80-pin and 100-pin devices,
their default assignments are on PORTE<6:0>. For
64-pin devices, their default assignments are on
PORTE<5:0> and PORTD<0>. On 80-pin and 100-pin
devices, the multiplexing for the outputs of ECCP1 and
ECCP3 is controlled by the ECCPMX Configuration bit.
Clearing this bit reassigns the P1B/P1C and P3B/P3C
outputs to PORTH.
For 80-pin and 100-pin devices operating in Microcontroller mode, pin, RE7, can be configured as the
alternate peripheral pin for the ECCP2 module and
Enhanced PWM Output 2A. This is done by clearing
the CCP2MX Configuration bit.
When the Parallel Slave Port is active on PORTD, three
of the PORTE pins (RE0, RE1 and RE2) are configured
as digital control inputs for the port. The control
functions are summarized in Table 11-11. The reconfiguration occurs automatically when the PSPMODE
control bit (PSPCON<4>) is set. Users must still make
certain the corresponding TRISE bits are set to
configure these pins as digital inputs.

PORTF, LATF and TRISF Registers
PORTF is implemented as a bidirectional port in two

different ways:
Note 1: On device Resets, pins, RF<6:1>, are

configured as analog inputs and are read
as 0.
2: To configure PORTF as digital I/O, turn
off the comparators and set the ADCON1
value.
64-pin and 80-pin devices: 7 bits wide (RF<7:1>)

100-pin devices: 8 bits wide (RF<7:0>)
The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISF.
Setting a TRISF bit (= 1) will make the corresponding
PORTF pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output
driver in a High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISF
bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTF pin an
selected pin). Only Pin 7 of PORTF has no analog
input; it is the only pin that can tolerate voltages up to
5.5V.
The Output Latch register (LATF) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATF
PORTF.
All pins on PORTF are implemented with Schmitt
PORTF is multiplexed with several analog peripheral
functions, including the A/D Converter and comparator
inputs, as well as the comparator outputs. Pins, RF1
through RF6, may be used as comparator inputs or
outputs by setting the appropriate bits in the CMCON
register. To use RF<6:1> as digital inputs, it is also
necessary to turn off the comparators.

PORTG, TRISG and

LATG Registers
Depending on the particular device, PORTG is

implemented as a bidirectional port in one of three
ways:
64-pin devices: 1 bit wide (RG<4>)
80-pin devices: 5 bits wide (RG<4:0>)
100-pin devices: 8 bits wide (RG<7:0>)
The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISG.
Setting a TRISG bit (= 1) will make the corresponding
PORTG pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output
driver in a High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISG
bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTG pin an
selected pin). All pins on PORTG are digital only and
The Output Latch register (LATG) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATG
PORTG.
PORTG is multiplexed with EUSART2 functions on
80-pin and 100-pin devices (Table 11-15). PORTG pins
have Schmitt Trigger input buffers.
DS39762F-page 162
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be

taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTG 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. The user should refer to the
corresponding peripheral section for the correct TRIS
bit settings. The pin override value is not loaded into
the TRIS register. This allows read-modify-write of the
TRIS register without concern due to peripheral
overrides.

PORTH, LATH and

TRISH Registers
PORTH is available only on 80-pin and
100-pin devices.
PORTH is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional I/O port; it is fully

implemented on 80-pin and 100-pin devices. The
corresponding Data Direction register is TRISH. Setting a TRISH bit (= 1) will make the corresponding
PORTH pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output
driver in a High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISH
bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTH pin an
selected pin). PORTH<3:0> pins are digital only and
The Output Latch register (LATH) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATH
register, read and write the latched output value for
PORTH.
All pins on PORTH are implemented with Schmitt
DS39762F-page 164
When the external memory interface is enabled, four of

the PORTH pins function as the high-order address
lines for the interface. The address output from the
interface takes priority over other digital I/O. The
corresponding TRISH bits are also overridden.
PORTH pins, RH4 through RH7, are multiplexed with
analog converter inputs. The operation of these pins as
analog inputs is selected by clearing or setting the
PCFG<3:0> control bits in the ADCON1 register.
PORTH can also be configured as the alternate
Enhanced PWM Output Channels B and C for the
ECCP1 and ECCP3 modules. This is done by clearing
the ECCPMX Configuration bit.

11.10 PORTJ, TRISJ and
LATJ Registers
Note:
PORTJ is available only on 80-pin and

100-pin devices.
PORTJ is implemented as a bidirectional port in two

different ways:
80-pin devices: 2 bits wide (RJ<5:4>)
100-pin devices: 8 bits wide (RJ<7:0>)
The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISJ.
Setting a TRISJ bit (= 1) will make the corresponding
PORTJ pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output
driver in a High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISJ
bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTJ pin an output (i.e., put the contents of the output latch on the
selected pin). All pins on PORTJ are digital only and
The Output Latch register (LATJ) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATJ

All pins on PORTJ are implemented with Schmitt
Note:
When the external memory interface is enabled, all of

the PORTJ pins function as control outputs for the
interface. This occurs automatically when the interface
is enabled by clearing the EBDIS control bit
(MEMCON<7>). The TRISJ bits are also overridden.
Each of the PORTJ pins has a weak internal pull-up. A
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is
performed by setting bit, RJPU (PORTA<7>). The

11.11 Parallel Slave Port (PSP)
Note:
PORTD AND PORTE

BLOCK DIAGRAM
(PARALLEL SLAVE PORT)
The Parallel Slave Port is only implemented

on 100-pin devices.
PORTD can also function as an 8-bit wide, Parallel

Slave Port, or microprocessor port, when control bit,
PSPMODE (PSPCON<4>), is set. It is asynchronously
readable and writable by the external world through the
RD control input pin, RE0/AD8/RD/P2D and WR
control input pin, RE1/AD9//WR/P2C.
Note:
FIGURE 11-2:
The Parallel Slave Port is available only in

Microcontroller mode.
The PSP can directly interface to an 8-bit microprocessor data bus. The external microprocessor can
read or write the PORTD latch as an 8-bit latch. Setting
bit, PSPMODE, enables port pin, RE0/AD8/RD/P2D, to
be the RD input, RE1/AD9//WR/P2C to be the WR
input and RE2/AD10//CS/P2B to be the CS (Chip
Select) input. For this functionality, the corresponding
data direction bits of the TRISE register (TRISE<2:0>)
must be configured as inputs (set).
A write to the PSP occurs when both the CS and WR
lines are first detected low and ends when either are
detected high. The PSPIF and IBF flag bits are both set
when the write ends.
A read from the PSP occurs when both the CS and RD
lines are first detected low. The data in PORTD is read
out and the OBF bit is set. If the user writes new data
to PORTD to set OBF, the data is immediately read out;
however, the OBF bit is not set.
When either the CS or RD lines is detected high, the
PORTD pins return to the input state and the PSPIF bit
is set. User applications should wait for PSPIF to be set
before servicing the PSP. When this happens, the IBF
and OBF bits can be polled and the appropriate action
taken.

12.1
Timer0 Operation
Timer0 can operate as either a timer or a counter; the

mode is selected with the T0CS bit (T0CON<5>). In
Timer mode (T0CS = 0), the module increments on
every clock by default unless a different prescaler value
is selected (see Section 12.3 Prescaler). If the
TMR0 register is written to, the increment is inhibited
for the following two instruction cycles. The user can
work around this by writing an adjusted value to the
TMR0 register.
The Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit
(= 1). In this mode, Timer0 increments either on every
rising or falling edge of pin, RA4/T0CKI. The incrementing edge is determined by the Timer0 Source Edge
Select bit, T0SE (T0CON<4>); clearing this bit selects
the rising edge. Restrictions on the external clock input
are discussed below.
An external clock source can be used to drive Timer0;
however, it must meet certain requirements to ensure
that the external clock can be synchronized with the
FIGURE 12-1:
internal phase clock (TOSC). There is a delay between

synchronization and the onset of incrementing the
timer/counter.
12.2
Timer0 Reads and Writes in

16-Bit Mode
TMR0H is not the actual high byte of Timer0 in 16-bit

mode. It is actually a buffered version of the real high
byte of Timer0 which is not directly readable nor writable (refer to Figure 12-2). TMR0H is updated with the
contents of the high byte of Timer0 during a read of
TMR0L. This provides the ability to read all 16 bits of
Timer0 without having to verify that the read of the high
and low byte was valid, due to a rollover between
successive reads of the high and low byte.
Similarly, a write to the high byte of Timer0 must also
take place through the TMR0H Buffer register. The high
byte is updated with the contents of TMR0H when a
write occurs to TMR0L. This allows all 16 bits of Timer0
to be updated at once.

An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the

Timer0 module. The prescaler is not directly readable
or writable. Its value is set by the PSA and T0PS<2:0>
bits (T0CON<3:0>) which determine the prescaler
assignment and prescale ratio.
Clearing the PSA bit assigns the prescaler to the
Timer0 module. When it is assigned, prescale values
from 1:2 through 1:256, in power-of-2 increments, are
selectable.
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions
writing to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF TMR0, MOVWF
TMR0, BSF TMR0, etc.) clear the prescaler count.
Note:
Writing to TMR0 when the prescaler is

assigned to Timer0 will clear the prescaler
count but will not change the prescaler
assignment.
TABLE 12-1:
Name
The prescaler assignment is fully under software

control and can be changed on-the-fly during program
execution.
12.4
Timer0 Interrupt
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0

register overflows from FFh to 00h in 8-bit mode, or
from FFFFh to 0000h in 16-bit mode. This overflow sets
the TMR0IF flag bit. The interrupt can be masked by
clearing the TMR0IE bit (INTCON<5>). Before
re-enabling the interrupt, the TMR0IF bit must be
cleared in software by the Interrupt Service Routine.
Since Timer0 is shut down in Sleep mode, the TMR0
interrupt cannot awaken the processor from Sleep.

TIMER1 MODULE
The Timer1 timer/counter module incorporates these

features:
Software selectable operation as a 16-bit timer or
counter
Readable and writable 8-bit registers (TMR1H
and TMR1L)
Selectable clock source (internal or external) with
device clock or Timer1 oscillator internal options
Reset on ECCP Special Event Trigger
Device clock status flag (T1RUN)
REGISTER 13-1:
R/W-0
The module incorporates its own low-power oscillator

to provide an additional clocking option. The Timer1
oscillator can also be used as a low-power clock source
for the microcontroller in power-managed operation.
Timer1 can also be used to provide Real-Time Clock
(RTC) functionality to applications with only a minimal
addition of external components and code overhead.
Timer1 is controlled through the T1CON Control
register (Register 13-1). It also contains the Timer1
Oscillator Enable bit (T1OSCEN). Timer1 can be
enabled or disabled by setting or clearing control bit,
TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).

on every rising edge of the Timer1 external clock input
or the Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.
Timer1 Operation
Timer1 can operate in one of these modes:

Timer
Synchronous Counter
Asynchronous Counter
When Timer1 is enabled, the RC1/T1OSI and

RC0/T1OSO/T13CKI pins become inputs. This means
the values of TRISC<1:0> are ignored and the pins are
read as 0.
The operating mode is determined by the clock select

bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>). When TMR1CS is cleared
(= 0), Timer1 increments on every internal instruction

Timer1 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
Timer1 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes

(see Figure 13-2). When the RD16 control bit
(T1CON<7>) is set, the address for TMR1H is mapped
to a buffer register for the high byte of Timer1. A read
from TMR1L will load the contents of the high byte of
Timer1 into the Timer1 High Byte Buffer register. This
provides the user with the ability to accurately read all
16 bits of Timer1 without having to determine whether
a read of the high byte, followed by a read of the low
byte, has become invalid due to a rollover between
reads.

Note 1: Microchip suggests these values as a

2: Higher capacitance increases the stability of the oscillator but also increases the
start-up time.
A write to the high byte of Timer1 must also take place

through the TMR1H Buffer register. The Timer1 high
write occurs to TMR1L. This allows a user to write all
16 bits to both the high and low bytes of Timer1 at once.
The high byte of Timer1 is not directly readable or
writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take
place through the Timer1 High Byte Buffer register.
Writes to TMR1H do not clear the Timer1 prescaler.
The prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMR1L.

13.3.1
Timer1 Oscillator
An on-chip crystal oscillator circuit is incorporated

between pins, T1OSI (input) and T1OSO (amplifier
output). It is enabled by setting the Timer1 Oscillator
Enable bit, T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>). The oscillator is a
low-power circuit rated for 32 kHz crystals. It will
continue to run during all power-managed modes. The
circuit for a typical LP oscillator is shown in Figure 13-3.
Table 13-1 shows the capacitor selection for the Timer1
oscillator.
See the Notes with Table 13-1 for additional

information about capacitor selection.
CAPACITOR SELECTION
FOR THE TIMER1
OSCILLATOR(2,3,4)
USING TIMER1 AS A
CLOCK SOURCE
The Timer1 oscillator is also available as a clock source

in power-managed modes. By setting the Clock Select
bits, SCS<1:0> (OSCCON<1:0>), to 01, the device
switches to SEC_RUN mode. Both the CPU and
peripherals are clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. If the
IDLEN bit (OSCCON<7>) is cleared and a SLEEP
instruction is executed, the device enters SEC_IDLE
mode. Additional details are available in Section 4.0
Power-Managed Modes.
Whenever the Timer1 oscillator is providing the clock
source, the Timer1 system clock status flag, T1RUN
(T1CON<6>), is set. This can be used to determine the
controllers current clocking mode. It can also indicate
the clock source being currently used by the Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor. If the Clock Monitor is enabled and the
Timer1 oscillator fails while providing the clock, polling
the T1RUN bit will indicate whether the clock is being
provided by the Timer1 oscillator or another source.
13.3.2
TIMER1 OSCILLATOR LAYOUT

CONSIDERATIONS
The Timer1 oscillator circuit draws very little power

during operation. Due to the low-power nature of the
oscillator, it may also be sensitive to rapidly changing
signals in close proximity.
The oscillator circuit, shown in Figure 13-3, should be
located as close as possible to the microcontroller.
There should be no circuits passing within the oscillator
circuit boundaries other than VSS or VDD.
DS39762F-page 177
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
If a high-speed circuit must be located near the oscillator (such as the ECCP1 pin in Output Compare or PWM
mode, or the primary oscillator using the OSC2 pin), a
grounded guard ring around the oscillator circuit, as
shown in Figure 13-4, may be helpful when used on a
single-sided PCB or in addition to a ground plane.

13.4
Timer1 Interrupt
The TMR1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments

from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The
Timer1 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow
which is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR1IF
(PIR1<0>). This interrupt can be enabled or disabled
by setting or clearing the Timer1 Interrupt Enable bit,
TMR1IE (PIE1<0>).
13.5
Resetting Timer1 Using the

ECCPx Special Event Trigger
If ECCP1 or ECCP2 is configured to use Timer1 and to

generate a Special Event Trigger in Compare mode
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1011), this signal will reset Timer3.
The trigger from ECCP2 will also start an A/D conversion if the A/D module is enabled (see Section 18.2.1
Special Event Trigger for more information).
The module must be configured as either a timer or a
synchronous counter to take advantage of this feature.
When used this way, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register
pair effectively becomes a period register for Timer1.
If Timer1 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
this Reset operation may not work.
In the event that a write to Timer1 coincides with a Special
Event Trigger, the write operation will take precedence.
Note:
The Special Event Triggers from the

ECCPx module will not set the TMR1IF
interrupt flag bit (PIR1<0>).
DS39762F-page 178
13.6
Using Timer1 as a Real-Time Clock
Adding an external LP oscillator to Timer1 (such as the

one described in Section 13.3 Timer1 Oscillator)
gives users the option to include RTC functionality to
their applications. This is accomplished with an
inexpensive watch crystal to provide an accurate time
base and several lines of application code to calculate
the time. When operating in Sleep mode and using a
battery or supercapacitor as a power source, it can
completely eliminate the need for a separate RTC
device and battery backup.
The application code routine, RTCisr, shown in
Example 13-1, demonstrates a simple method to
increment a counter at one-second intervals using an
Interrupt Service Routine. Incrementing the TMR1
register pair to overflow, triggers the interrupt and calls
the routine, which increments the seconds counter by
one. Additional counters for minutes and hours are
incremented as the previous counter overflows.
Since the register pair is 16 bits wide, counting up to
overflow the register directly from a 32.768 kHz clock
would take 2 seconds. To force the overflow at the
required one-second intervals, it is necessary to preload it. The simplest method is to set the MSb of
TMR1H with a BSF instruction. Note that the TMR1L
register is never preloaded or altered; doing so may
introduce cumulative error over many cycles.
For this method to be accurate, Timer1 must operate in
Asynchronous mode and the Timer1 overflow interrupt
must be enabled (PIE1<0> = 1), as shown in the
routine, RTCinit. The Timer1 oscillator must also be
enabled and running at all times.
13.7
Considerations in Asynchronous
Counter Mode
Following a Timer1 interrupt and an update to the

TMR1 registers, the Timer1 module uses a falling edge
on its clock source to trigger the next register update on
the rising edge. If the update is completed after the
clock input has fallen, the next rising edge will not be
counted.
If the application can reliably update TMR1 before the
timer input goes low, no additional action is needed.
Otherwise, an adjusted update can be performed
following a later Timer1 increment. This can be done by
monitoring TMR1L within the interrupt routine until it
increments, and then updating the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair while the clock is low, or one-half of the period
of the clock source. Assuming that Timer1 is being
used as a Real-Time Clock, the clock source is a
32.768 kHz crystal oscillator. In this case, one-half
period of the clock is 15.25 s.
The Real-Time Clock application code in Example 13-1
shows a typical ISR for Timer1, as well as the optional
code required if the update cannot be done reliably
within the required interval.

TIMER2 MODULE
14.1
The Timer2 timer module incorporates the following

features:
8-Bit Timer and Period registers (TMR2 and PR2,
respectively)
Readable and writable (both registers)
Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4 and
1:16)
Software programmable postscaler (1:1 through
1:16)
Interrupt on TMR2 to PR2 match
Optional use as the shift clock for the
MSSPx modules
This module is controlled through the T2CON register
(Register 14-1) which enables or disables the timer and
configures the prescaler and postscaler. Timer2 can be
shut off by clearing control bit, TMR2ON (T2CON<2>),
to minimize power consumption.
A simplified block diagram of the module is shown in
Figure 14-1.
Timer2 Operation
In normal operation, TMR2 is incremented from 00h on

each clock (FOSC/4). A 4-bit counter/prescaler on the
clock input gives direct input, divide-by-4 and
divide-by-16 prescale options. These options are
selected by the prescaler control bits, T2CKPS<1:0>
(T2CON<1:0>). The value of TMR2 is compared to that
of the Period register, PR2, on each clock cycle. When
the two values match, the comparator generates a
match signal as the timer output. This signal also resets
the value of TMR2 to 00h on the next cycle and drives
the output counter/postscaler (see Section 14.2
Timer2 Interrupt).
The TMR2 and PR2 registers are both directly readable
and writable. The TMR2 register is cleared on any
device Reset, while the PR2 register initializes at FFh.
Both the prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
on the following events:
A write to the TMR2 register
A write to the T2CON register
Any device Reset (Power-on Reset, MCLR Reset,
Watchdog Timer Reset or Brown-out Reset)
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.

Timer2 Interrupt
14.3
Timer2 can also generate an optional device interrupt.

The Timer2 output signal (TMR2 to PR2 match) provides the input for the 4-bit output counter/postscaler.
This counter generates the TMR2 match interrupt flag
which is latched in TMR2IF (PIR1<1>). The interrupt is
enabled by setting the TMR2 Match Interrupt Enable
bit, TMR2IE (PIE1<1>).
Timer2 Output
The unscaled output of TMR2 is available primarily to

the CCP modules, where it is used as a time base for
operations in PWM mode.
Timer2 can be optionally used as the shift clock source
for the MSSPx modules operating in SPI mode.
Additional information is provided in Section 20.0
Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) Module.
A range of 16 postscale options (from 1:1 through 1:16

inclusive) can be selected with the postscaler control
bits, T2OUTPS<3:0> (T2CON<6:3>).

The operating mode is determined by the clock select

bit, TMR3CS (T3CON<1>). When TMR3CS is cleared
(= 0), Timer3 increments on every internal instruction
cycle (FOSC/4). When the bit is set, Timer3 increments
on every rising edge of the Timer1 external clock input
or the Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.
Timer3 Operation
Timer3 can operate in one of three modes:

Timer3 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
15.4
Timer3 Interrupt
Timer3 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes

(see Figure 15-2). When the RD16 control bit
(T3CON<7>) is set, the address for TMR3H is mapped
to a buffer register for the high byte of Timer3. A read
from TMR3L will load the contents of the high byte of
Timer3 into the Timer3 High Byte Buffer register. This
provides the user with the ability to accurately read all
16 bits of Timer1 without having to determine whether
a read of the high byte, followed by a read of the low
byte, has become invalid due to a rollover between
reads.
The TMR3 register pair (TMR3H:TMR3L) increments

from 0000h to FFFFh, and overflows to 0000h. The
Timer3 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow
and is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR3IF (PIR2<1>).
This interrupt can be enabled or disabled by setting or
clearing the Timer3 Interrupt Enable bit, TMR3IE
(PIE2<1>).
A write to the high byte of Timer3 must also take place

through the TMR3H Buffer register. The Timer3 high
write occurs to TMR3L. This allows a user to write all
16 bits to both the high and low bytes of Timer3 at once.
If ECCP1 or ECCP2 is configured to use Timer3 and to

generate a Special Event Trigger in Compare mode
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1011), this signal will reset Timer3.
The trigger from ECCP2 will also start an A/D conversion if the A/D module is enabled (see Section 18.2.1
Special Event Trigger for more information).
The high byte of Timer3 is not directly readable or

writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take
place through the Timer3 High Byte Buffer register.
Writes to TMR3H do not clear the Timer3 prescaler.
The prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMR3L.
15.3
Using the Timer1 Oscillator as the

Timer3 Clock Source
The Timer1 internal oscillator may be used as the clock

source for Timer3. The Timer1 oscillator is enabled by
setting the T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>) bit. To use it as the
Timer3 clock source, the TMR3CS bit must also be set.
As previously noted, this also configures Timer3 to
increment on every rising edge of the oscillator source.
15.5
Resetting Timer3 Using the

The module must be configured as either a timer or

synchronous counter to take advantage of this feature.
When used this way, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register
pair effectively becomes a Period register for Timer3.
If Timer3 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
the Reset operation may not work.
In the event that a write to Timer3 coincides with a
Special Event Trigger from an ECCPx module, the
write will take precedence.
Note:
The Special Event Triggers from the

ECCPx module will not set the TMR3IF
interrupt flag bit (PIR2<1>).
The Timer1 oscillator is described in Section 13.0

Timer1 Module.

TIMER4 MODULE
16.1
The Timer4 module has the following features:
8-Bit Timer register (TMR4)

8-Bit Period register (PR4)
Readable and writable (both registers)
Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4, 1:16)
Software programmable postscaler (1:1 to 1:16)
Interrupt on TMR4 match of PR4
Timer4 has a control register, shown in Register 16-1.

Timer4 can be shut off by clearing control bit, TMR4ON
(T4CON<2>), to minimize power consumption. The
prescaler and postscaler selection of Timer4 is also
controlled by this register. Figure 16-1 is a simplified
block diagram of the Timer4 module.
Timer4 Operation
Timer4 can be used as the PWM time base for the

PWM mode of the CCP module. The TMR4 register is
readable and writable, and is cleared on any device
Reset. The input clock (FOSC/4) has a prescale option
of 1:1, 1:4 or 1:16, selected by control bits,
T4CKPS<1:0> (T4CON<1:0>). The match output of
TMR4 goes through a 4-bit postscaler (which gives a
1:1 to 1:16 scaling inclusive) to generate a TMR4
interrupt, latched in flag bit, TMR4IF (PIR3<3>).
The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
when any of the following occurs:
A write to the TMR4 register
A write to the T4CON register
Any device Reset (Power-on Reset, MCLR Reset,
Watchdog Timer Reset or Brown-out Reset)
TMR4 is not cleared when T4CON is written.

the next increment cycle. The PR4 register is initialized
to FFh upon Reset.

to CCP4, but is equally applicable to CCP5.
CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
(CCP) MODULES
Members of the PIC18F97J60 family of devices all have

a total of five CCP (Capture/Compare/PWM) modules.
Two of these (CCP4 and CCP5) implement standard
Capture, Compare and Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)
modes and are discussed in this section. The other three
modules (ECCP1, ECCP2, ECCP3) implement
standard Capture and Compare modes, as well as
Enhanced PWM modes. These are discussed in
Section 18.0 Enhanced Capture/Compare/PWM
(ECCP) Modules.
Each CCPx/ECCPx module contains a 16-bit register
which can operate as a 16-Bit Capture register, a 16-Bit
Compare register or a PWM Master/Slave Duty Cycle
REGISTER 17-1:
Capture and Compare operations described in this chapter apply to all standard and Enhanced CCPx modules.
The operations of PWM mode, described in Section 17.4
PWM Mode, apply to CCP4 and CCP5 only.
Note: Throughout this section and Section 18.0
Enhanced Capture/Compare/PWM (ECCP)
Modules, references to register and bit
names that may be associated with a specific
CCP module are referred to generically by the
use of x or y in place of the specific module

CCPx Module Configuration
Each Capture/Compare/PWM module is associated

with a control register (generically, CCPxCON) and a
data register (CCPRx). The data register, in turn, is
comprised of two 8-bit registers: CCPRxL (low byte)
and CCPRxH (high byte). All registers are both
readable and writable.
17.1.1
17.1.2
CCPx/ECCPx MODULES AND

TIMER RESOURCES
The CCPx/ECCPx modules utilize Timers 1, 2, 3 or 4,

depending on the mode selected. Timer1 and Timer3
are available to modules in Capture or Compare
modes, while Timer2 and Timer4 are available for
modules in PWM mode.

FIGURE 17-1:
The assignment of a particular timer to a module is

determined by the timer to CCPx enable bits in the
T3CON register (Register 15-1, page 183). Depending
on the configuration selected, up to four timers may be
active at once, with modules in the same configuration
(Capture/Compare or PWM) sharing timer resources.
The possible configurations are shown in Figure 17-1.
ECCP2 PIN ASSIGNMENT
The pin assignment for ECCP2 (Capture input,

Compare and PWM output) can change based on
device configuration. The CCP2MX Configuration bit
determines which pin ECCP2 is multiplexed to. By
default, it is assigned to RC1 (CCP2MX = 1). If the
Configuration bit is cleared, ECCP2 is multiplexed with
RE7 on 80-pin and 100-pin devices in Microcontroller
mode and RB3 on 100-pin devices in Extended
Microcontroller mode.
Changing the pin assignment of ECCP2 does not automatically change any requirements for configuring the
port pin. Users must always verify that the appropriate
TRIS register is configured correctly for ECCP2
operation, regardless of where it is located.

17.2.3
Capture Mode
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture

interrupt may be generated. The user should keep the
CCPxIE interrupt enable bit clear to avoid false
interrupts. The interrupt flag bit, CCPxIF, should also be
cleared following any such change in operating mode.
In Capture mode, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair

captures the 16-bit value of the TMR1 or TMR3
registers when an event occurs on the corresponding
CCPx pin. An event is defined as one of the following:
Every falling edge

Every rising edge
Every 4th rising edge
Every 16th rising edge
17.2.4
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 17-1 shows the
recommended method for switching between capture
prescalers. This example also clears the prescaler
counter and will not generate the false interrupt.
CCPx PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the appropriate CCPx pin should be

configured as an input by setting the corresponding
TRIS direction bit.
Note:
17.2.2
If RG4/CCP5/P1D is configured as an
output, a write to the port can cause a
capture condition.
EXAMPLE 17-1:
TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION
CLRF
MOVLW
The timers that are to be used with the capture feature

(Timer1 and/or Timer3) must be running in Timer mode or
Synchronized Counter mode. In Asynchronous Counter
mode, the capture operation will not work. The timer to be
used with each CCPx module is selected in the T3CON
register (see Section 17.1.1 CCPx/ECCPx Modules
and Timer Resources).
FIGURE 17-2:
CCPx PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings in Capture mode.

They are specified as part of the operating mode
selected by the mode select bits (CCPxM<3:0>).
Whenever the CCPx module is turned off or Capture
mode is disabled, the prescaler counter is cleared. This
means that any Reset will clear the prescaler counter.
The event is selected by the mode select bits,

CCPxM<3:0> (CCPxCON<3:0>). When a capture is
made, the interrupt request flag bit, CCPxIF, is set; it
must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs
before the value in register, CCPRx, is read, the old
captured value is overwritten by the new captured value.

pin:

Can be driven low
Can be toggled (high-to-low or low-to-high)
Remains unchanged (that is, reflects the state of
the I/O latch)
17.3.2
CCPx PIN CONFIGURATION
The user must configure the CCPx pin as an output by

clearing the appropriate TRIS bit.
FIGURE 17-3:
TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION
Timer1 and/or Timer3 must be running in Timer mode

or Synchronized Counter mode if the CCPx module is
using the compare feature. In Asynchronous Counter
mode, the compare operation may not work.
The action on the pin is based on the value of the mode

select bits (CCPxM<3:0>). At the same time, the
interrupt flag bit, CCPxIF, is set.
17.3.1
Clearing the CCP5CON register will force

the RG4 compare output latch (depending on device configuration) to the default
low level. This is not the PORTB or
PORTC I/O data latch.

17.4.1
PWM Mode
In Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCPx pin

produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since
the CCP4 and CCP5 pins are multiplexed with a
PORTG data latch, the appropriate TRISG bit must be
cleared to make the CCP4 or CCP5 pin an output.
Clearing the CCP4CON or CCP5CON
register will force the RG3 or RG4 output
latch (depending on device configuration)
to the default low level. This is not the
PORTG I/O data latch.
Note:
Figure 17-4 shows a simplified block diagram of the

CCPx module in PWM mode.
For a step-by-step procedure on how to set up a CCPx
module for PWM operation, see Section 17.4.3
Setup for PWM Operation.
FIGURE 17-4:
SIMPLIFIED PWM BLOCK

DIAGRAM
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2

(PR4) register. The PWM period can be calculated
using Equation 17-1:
EQUATION 17-1:
PWM Period = [(PR2) + 1] 4 TOSC
(TMR2 Prescale Value)
PWM frequency is defined as 1/[PWM period].
When TMR2 (TMR4) is equal to PR2 (PR4), the
following three events occur on the next increment
cycle:
TMR2 (TMR4) is cleared
The CCPx pin is set (exception: if PWM duty
cycle = 0%, the CCPx pin will not be set)
The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPRxL into
CCPRxH

Note 1: The two LSbs of the Duty Cycle register are held by a
2-bit latch that is part of the modules hardware. It is
physically separate from the CCPRx registers.
A PWM output (Figure 17-5) has a time base (period)

and a time that the output stays high (duty cycle).
The frequency of the PWM is the inverse of the
period (1/period).
FIGURE 17-5:

PWM PERIOD
The Timer2 and Timer4 postscalers (see

Section 14.0 Timer2 Module and
Section 16.0 Timer4 Module) are 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.
PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the

CCPRxL register and to the CCPxCON<5:4> bits. Up
to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPRxL contains
the eight MSbs and the CCPxCON<5:4> contains the
two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by
CCPRxL:CCPxCON<5:4>. Equation 17-2 is used to
calculate the PWM duty cycle in time.
EQUATION 17-2:
PWM Duty Cycle = (CCPRXL:CCPXCON<5:4>)
TOSC (TMRx Prescale Value)
CCPRxL and CCPxCON<5:4> can be written to at any
time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into
CCPRxH until after a match between PR2 (PR4) and
TMR2 (TMR4) occurs (i.e., the period is complete). In
PWM mode, CCPRxH is a read-only register.

PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
The CCPRxH 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 CCPRxH and 2-bit latch match TMR2
(TMR4), concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or
2 bits of the TMR2 (TMR4) prescaler, the CCPx pin is
cleared.
The maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM
frequency is given by Equation 17-3:

ENHANCED
CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
(ECCP) MODULES
In the PIC18F97J60 family of devices, three of the CCP

modules are implemented as standard CCP modules
with Enhanced PWM capabilities. These include the
provision for 2 or 4 output channels, user-selectable
polarity, dead-band control and automatic shutdown
and restart. The Enhanced features are discussed in
detail in Section 18.4 Enhanced PWM Mode.
Capture, Compare and single output PWM functions of
the ECCPx modules are the same as described for the
standard CCPx modules.
The control register for the Enhanced CCPx module is

shown in Register 18-1. It differs from the
CCP4CON/CCP5CON registers in that the two Most
Significant bits are implemented to control PWM
functionality.
In addition to the expanded range of modes available
through the Enhanced CCPxCON register, the ECCPx
modules each have two additional registers associated
with Enhanced PWM operation and auto-shutdown
features. They are:
ECCPxDEL (Dead-Band Delay)
ECCPxAS (Auto-Shutdown Configuration)

PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
18.1
ECCPx Outputs and Configuration
Each of the Enhanced CCPx modules may have up to

four PWM outputs, depending on the selected
operating mode. These outputs, designated PxA
through PxD, are multiplexed with various I/O pins.
Some ECCPx pin assignments are constant, while
others change based on device configuration. For
those pins that do change, the controlling bits are:
CCP2MX Configuration bit (80-pin and 100-pin
devices only)
ECCPMX Configuration bit (80-pin and 100-pin
devices only)
Program memory operating mode set by the EMB
Configuration bits (100-pin devices only)
The pin assignments for the Enhanced CCPx modules
are summarized in Table 18-1, Table 18-2 and
Table 18-3. To configure the I/O pins as PWM outputs,
the proper PWM mode must be selected by setting the
PxMx and CCPxMx bits (CCPxCON<7:6> and <3:0>,
respectively). The appropriate TRIS direction bits for
the corresponding port pins must also be set as
outputs.
18.1.1
ECCP1/ECCP3 OUTPUTS AND

PROGRAM MEMORY MODE
In 100-pin devices, the use of Extended Microcontroller

mode has an indirect effect on the ECCP1 and ECCP3
pins in Enhanced PWM modes. By default, PWM
outputs, P1B/P1C and P3B/P3C, are multiplexed to
PORTE pins, along with the high-order byte of the
external memory bus. When the bus is active in
Extended Microcontroller mode, it overrides the
Enhanced CCPx outputs and makes them unavailable.
Because of this, ECCP1 and ECCP3 can only be used
in compatible (single output) PWM modes when the
device is in Extended Microcontroller mode with default
pin configuration.
An exception to this configuration is when a 12-bit
address width is selected for the external bus
(EMB<1:0> Configuration bits = 10). In this case, the
upper pins of PORTE continue to operate as digital I/O,
even when the external bus is active. P1B/P1C and
P3B/P3C remain available for use as Enhanced PWM
outputs.
18.1.2
ECCP2 OUTPUTS AND PROGRAM

MEMORY MODES
For 100-pin devices, the Program Memory mode of the

device (Section 6.1.3 PIC18F9XJ60/9XJ65 Program
Memory Modes) also impacts pin multiplexing for the
module.
The ECCP2 input/output (ECCP2/P2A) can be multiplexed to one of three pins. The default assignment
(CCP2MX Configuration bit is set) for all devices is
RC1. Clearing CCP2MX reassigns ECCP2/P2A to RE7
in 80-pin and 100-pin devices.
An additional option exists for 100-pin devices. When
these devices are operating in Microcontroller mode,
the multiplexing options described above still apply. In
Extended Microcontroller mode, clearing CCP2MX
reassigns ECCP2/P2A to RB3.
18.1.3
USE OF CCP4 AND CCP5 WITH

ECCP1 AND ECCP3
Only the ECCP2 module has four dedicated, output

pins that are available for use. Assuming that the I/O
ports or other multiplexed functions on those pins are
not needed, they may be used without interfering with
any other CCPx module.
ECCP1 and ECCP3, on the other hand, only have
three dedicated output pins: ECCPx/PxA, PxB and
PxC. Whenever these modules are configured for
Quad PWM mode, the pin normally used for CCP4 or
CCP5 becomes the PxD output pin for ECCP3 and
ECCP1, respectively. The CCP4 and CCP5 modules
remain functional but their outputs are overridden.
18.1.4
ECCPx MODULES AND TIMER

RESOURCES
Like the standard CCPx modules, the ECCPx modules

can utilize Timers 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on the mode
selected. Timer1 and Timer3 are available for modules
in Capture or Compare modes, while Timer2 and
Timer4 are available for modules in PWM mode.
Additional details on timer resources are provided in
Section 17.1.1 CCPx/ECCPx Modules and Timer
Resources.
If an application requires the use of additional PWM

outputs during Extended Microcontroller mode, the
P1B/P1C and P3B/P3C outputs can be reassigned to
the upper bits of PORTH. This is done by clearing the
ECCPMX Configuration bit.

18.2
Capture and Compare Modes
Except for the operation of the Special Event Trigger

discussed below, the Capture and Compare modes of
the ECCPx modules are identical in operation to that of
CCP4. These are discussed in detail in Section 17.2
Capture Mode and Section 17.3 Compare
Mode.
18.2.1
Special Event Triggers are not implemented for

ECCP3, CCP4 or CCP5. Selecting the Special Event
Trigger mode for these modules has the same effect as
selecting the Compare with Software Interrupt mode
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1010).
Note:
The Special Event Trigger from ECCP2

will not set the Timer1 or Timer3 interrupt
flag bits.
SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
ECCP1 and ECCP2 incorporate an internal hardware

trigger that is generated in Compare mode on a match
between the CCPRx register pair and the selected
timer. This can be used, in turn, to initiate an action.
This mode is selected by setting CCPxCON<3:0> to
1011.
The Special Event Trigger output of either ECCP1 or
ECCP2 resets the TMR1 or TMR3 register pair,
depending on which timer resource is currently
selected. This allows the CCPRx register to effectively
be a 16-Bit Programmable Period register for Timer1 or
Timer3. In addition, the ECCP2 Special Event Trigger
will also start an A/D conversion if the A/D module is
enabled.
DS39762F-page 202
18.3
Standard PWM Mode
When configured in Single Output mode, the ECCPx

modules function identically to the standard CCPx
modules in PWM mode, as described in Section 17.4
PWM Mode. Sometimes this is also referred to as
Compatible CCP mode, as in Tables 18-1
through 18-3.
Note:
When setting up single output PWM

operations, users are free to use either of
the processes described in Section 17.4.3
Setup for PWM Operation or
Section 18.4.9 Setup for PWM Operation. The latter is more generic but will
work for either single or multi-output PWM.
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
18.4
Enhanced PWM Mode
The Enhanced PWM mode provides additional PWM

output options for a broader range of control applications. The module is a backward compatible version of
the standard CCPx modules and offers up to four outputs, designated PxA through PxD. Users are also able
to select the polarity of the signal (either active-high or
active-low). The modules output mode and polarity are
configured by setting the PxM<1:0> and CCPxM<3:0>
bits of the CCPxCON register (CCPxCON<7:6> and
<3:0>, respectively).
For the sake of clarity, Enhanced PWM mode operation
is described generically throughout this section with
respect to ECCP1 and TMR2 modules. Control register
names are presented in terms of ECCP1. All three
Enhanced modules, as well as the two timer resources,
can be used interchangeably and function identically.
TMR2 or TMR4 can be selected for PWM operation by
selecting the proper bits in T3CON.
Figure 18-1 shows a simplified block diagram of PWM
operation. All control registers are double-buffered and
are loaded at the beginning of a new PWM cycle (the
period boundary when Timer2 resets) in order to prevent glitches on any of the outputs. The exception is the
ECCP1 Dead-Band Delay register, ECCP1DEL, which
is loaded at either the duty cycle boundary or the
boundary period (whichever comes first). Because of
the buffering, the module waits until the assigned timer
resets instead of starting immediately. This means that
FIGURE 18-1:
Enhanced PWM waveforms do not exactly match the

standard PWM waveforms, but are instead, offset by
one full instruction cycle (4 TOSC).
As before, the user must manually configure the
appropriate TRIS bits for output.
18.4.1
PWM PERIOD
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2

register. The PWM period can be calculated using the
following equation:
EQUATION 18-1:
PWM Period = [(PR2) + 1] 4 TOSC
(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 ECCP1 pin is set (if PWM duty cycle = 0%,
the ECCP1 pin will not be set)
The PWM duty cycle is copied from CCPR1L into
CCPR1H
Note:
The Timer2 postscaler (see Section 14.0

Timer2 Module) 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.

PWM DUTY CYCLE
Note:
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 the CCP1CON<5:4> bits contain
the two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by
CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>. The PWM duty cycle is
calculated by the equation:
18.4.3
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 copied into
CCPR1H until 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 two bits
of the TMR2 prescaler, the ECCP1 pin is cleared. The
maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM
frequency is given by the following equation:
PWM OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS
The P1M<1:0> bits in the CCP1CON register allow one

of four configurations:
EQUATION 18-2:
If the PWM duty cycle value is longer than

the PWM period, the ECCP1 pin will not
be cleared.

HALF-BRIDGE MODE
FIGURE 18-4:
In the Half-Bridge Output mode, two pins are used as

outputs to drive push-pull loads. The PWM output
signal is output on the P1A pin, while the complementary PWM output signal is output on the P1B pin
(Figure 18-4). This mode can be used for half-bridge
applications, as shown in Figure 18-5, or for full-bridge
applications, where four power switches are being
modulated with two PWM signals.

FULL-BRIDGE MODE
In Full-Bridge Output mode, four pins are used as

outputs; however, only two outputs are active at a time.
In the Forward mode, pin, P1A, is continuously active
and pin, P1D, is modulated. In the Reverse mode, pin,
P1C, is continuously active and pin, P1B, is modulated.
These are illustrated in Figure 18-6.

Direction Change in Full-Bridge Mode
In the Full-Bridge Output mode, the P1M1 bit in the

CCP1CON register allows users to control the
forward/reverse direction. When the application firmware changes this direction control bit, the module will
assume the new direction on the next PWM cycle.
Just before the end of the current PWM period, the
modulated outputs (P1B and P1D) are placed in their
inactive state, while the unmodulated outputs (P1A and
P1C) are switched to drive in the opposite direction.
This occurs in a time interval of (4 TOSC * (Timer2
Prescale Value) before the next PWM period begins.
The Timer2 prescaler will be either 1, 4 or 16, depending on the value of the T2CKPS bits (T2CON<1:0>).
During the interval from the switch of the unmodulated
outputs to the beginning of the next period, the
modulated outputs (P1B and P1D) remain inactive.
This relationship is shown in Figure 18-8.
Note that in Full-Bridge Output mode, the ECCP1 module does not provide any dead-band delay. In general,
since only one output is modulated at all times,
dead-band delay is not required. However, there is a
situation where a dead-band delay might be required.
This situation occurs when both of the following
conditions are true:
1.
2.
The direction of the PWM output changes when

the duty cycle of the output is at or near 100%.
The turn-off time of the power switch, including
the power device and driver circuit, is greater
than the turn-on time.
Figure 18-9 shows an example where the PWM direction changes from forward to reverse at a near 100%
duty cycle. At time, t1, the outputs, P1A and P1D,
become inactive, while output, P1C, becomes active. In
this example, since the turn-off time of the power
devices is longer than the turn-on time, a shoot-through
current may flow through power devices, QC and QD
(see Figure 18-7), for the duration of t. The same
phenomenon will occur to power devices, QA and QB,
for PWM direction change from reverse to forward.
If changing PWM direction at high duty cycle is required
for an application, one of the following requirements
must be met:
1.
2.
Reduce PWM for a PWM period before

changing directions.
Use switch drivers that can drive the switches off
faster than they can drive them on.
Other options to prevent shoot-through current may

exist.

18.4.6
PROGRAMMABLE DEAD-BAND
DELAY
In half-bridge applications, where all power switches

are modulated at the PWM frequency at all times, the
power switches normally require more time to turn off
than to turn on. If both the upper and lower power
switches are switched at the same time (one turned on
and the other turned off), both switches may be on for
a short period of time until one switch completely turns
off. During this brief interval, a very high current
(shoot-through current) may flow through both power
switches, shorting the bridge supply. To avoid this
potentially destructive shoot-through current from flowing during switching, turning on either of the power
switches is normally delayed to allow the other switch
to completely turn off.
In the Half-Bridge Output mode, a digitally programmable dead-band delay is available to avoid
shoot-through current from destroying the bridge
power switches. The delay occurs at the signal
transition from the non-active state to the active state.
See Figure 18-4 for the illustration. The lower seven
bits of the ECCP1DEL register (Register 18-2) set the
delay period in terms of microcontroller instruction
cycles (TCY or 4 TOSC).
18.4.7
ENHANCED PWM
AUTO-SHUTDOWN
When the ECCP1 is programmed for any of the

Enhanced PWM modes, the active output pins may be
configured for auto-shutdown. Auto-shutdown immediately places the Enhanced PWM output pins into a
defined shutdown state when a shutdown event
occurs.
REGISTER 18-2:
A shutdown event can be caused by either of the two

comparator modules or the FLT0 pin (or any combination of these three sources). The comparators may be
used to monitor a voltage input proportional to a current
being monitored in the bridge circuit. If the voltage
exceeds a threshold, the comparator switches state and
triggers a shutdown. Alternatively, a low-level digital
signal on the FLT0 pin can also trigger a shutdown. The
auto-shutdown feature can be disabled by not selecting
any auto-shutdown sources. The auto-shutdown sources
to be used are selected using the ECCP1AS<2:0> bits
(ECCP1AS<6:4>).
When a shutdown occurs, the output pins are
asynchronously placed in their shutdown states,
specified by the PSS1AC<1:0> and PSS1BD<1:0> bits
(ECCP1AS<3:0>). Each pin pair (P1A/P1C and
P1B/P1D) may be set to drive high, drive low or be
tri-stated (not driving). The ECCP1ASE bit
(ECCP1AS<7>) is also set to hold the Enhanced PWM
outputs in their shutdown states.
The ECCP1ASE bit is set by hardware when a shutdown
event occurs. If automatic restarts are not enabled, the
ECCP1ASE bit is cleared by firmware when the cause of
the shutdown clears. If automatic restarts are enabled,
the ECC1PASE bit is automatically cleared when the
cause of the auto-shutdown has cleared.
If the ECCP1ASE bit is set when a PWM period begins,
the PWM outputs remain in their shutdown state for that
entire PWM period. When the ECCP1ASE bit is cleared,
the PWM outputs will return to normal operation at the
beginning of the next PWM period.
Note:
Writing to the ECCP1ASE bit is disabled

while a shutdown condition is active.

Auto-Shutdown and Automatic

Restart
18.4.8
The auto-shutdown feature can be configured to allow

automatic restarts of the module following a shutdown
event. This is enabled by setting the P1RSEN bit of the
ECCP1DEL register (ECCP1DEL<7>).
In Shutdown mode with P1RSEN = 1 (Figure 18-10),
the ECCP1ASE bit will remain set for as long as the
cause of the shutdown continues. When the shutdown
condition clears, the ECCP1ASE bit is cleared. If
P1RSEN = 0 (Figure 18-11), once a shutdown condition occurs, the ECCP1ASE bit will remain set until it is
cleared by firmware. Once ECCP1ASE is cleared, the
Enhanced PWM will resume at the beginning of the
next PWM period.
Note:
Writing to the ECCP1ASE bit is disabled

while a shutdown condition is active.
Independent of the P1RSEN bit setting, if the

auto-shutdown source is one of the comparators, the
shutdown condition is a level. The ECCP1ASE bit
cannot be cleared as long as the cause of the shutdown
persists.
The Auto-Shutdown mode can be forced by writing a 1
to the ECCP1ASE bit.
FIGURE 18-10:
START-UP CONSIDERATIONS
When the ECCP1 module is used in the PWM mode, the

application hardware must use the proper external pull-up
and/or pull-down resistors on the PWM output pins. When
the microcontroller is released from Reset, all of the I/O
pins are in the high-impedance state. The external circuits
must keep the power switch devices in the OFF state until
the microcontroller drives the I/O pins with the proper
signal levels, or activates the PWM output(s).
The CCP1M<1:0> bits (CCP1CON<1:0>) allow the
user to choose whether the PWM output signals are
active-high or active-low for each pair of PWM output
pins (P1A/P1C and P1B/P1D). The PWM output
polarities must be selected before the PWM pins are
configured as outputs. Changing the polarity configuration while the PWM pins are configured as outputs is
not recommended since it may result in damage to the
application circuits.
The P1A, P1B, P1C and P1D output latches may not be
in the proper states when the PWM module is initialized.
Enabling the PWM pins for output at the same time as
the ECCP1 module may cause damage to the application circuit. The ECCP1 module must be enabled in the
proper Output mode and complete a full PWM cycle
before configuring the PWM pins as outputs. The completion of a full PWM cycle is indicated by the TMR2IF
bit being set as the second PWM period begins.

SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
The following steps should be taken when configuring

the ECCP1 module for PWM operation:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Configure the PWM pins, P1A and P1B (and

P1C and P1D, if used), as inputs by setting the
corresponding TRIS bits.
Set the PWM period by loading the PR2 (PR4)
register.
Configure the ECCP1 module for the desired
PWM mode and configuration by loading the
CCP1CON register with the appropriate values:
Select one of the available output
configurations and direction with the
P1M<1:0> bits.
Select the polarities of the PWM output
signals with the CCP1M<3:0> bits.
Set the PWM duty cycle by loading the CCPR1L
register and the CCP1CON<5:4> bits.
For auto-shutdown:
Disable auto-shutdown; ECCP1ASE = 0
Configure auto-shutdown source
Wait for Run condition
For Half-Bridge Output mode, set the
dead-band delay by loading ECCP1DEL<6:0>
with the appropriate value.
If auto-shutdown operation is required, load the
ECCP1AS register:
Select the auto-shutdown sources using the
ECCP1AS<2:0> bits.
Select the shutdown states of the PWM
output pins using PSS1AC<1:0> and
PSS1BD<1:0> bits.
Set the ECCP1ASE bit (ECCP1AS<7>).
DS39762F-page 214
8.
If auto-restart operation is required, set the

P1RSEN bit (ECCP1DEL<7>).
9. Configure and start TMR2 (TMR4):
Clear the TMRx interrupt flag bit by clearing
the TMRxIF bit (PIR1<1> for Timer2 or
PIR3<3> for Timer4).
Set the TMRx prescale value by loading the
TxCKPS bits (T2CON<1:0> for Timer2 or
T4CON<1:0> for Timer4).
Enable Timer2 (or Timer4) by setting the
TMRxON bit (T2CON<2> for Timer2 or
T4CON<2> for Timer4).
10. Enable PWM outputs after a new PWM cycle
has started:
Wait until TMR2 (TMR4) overflows (TMRxIF
bit is set).
Enable the ECCP1/P1A, P1B, P1C and/or
P1D pin outputs by clearing the respective
TRIS bits.
Clear the ECCP1ASE bit (ECCP1AS<7>).
18.4.10
EFFECTS OF A RESET
Both Power-on Reset and subsequent Resets will force

all ports to Input mode and the CCPx/ECCPx registers
to their Reset states.
This forces the Enhanced CCPx modules to reset to a
state compatible with the standard CCPx modules.

ETHERNET MODULE
All members of the PIC18F97J60 family of devices

feature an embedded Ethernet controller module. This
is a complete connectivity solution, including full implementations of both Media Access Control (MAC) and
Physical Layer (PHY) transceiver modules. Two pulse
transformers and a few passive components are all that
are required to connect the microcontroller directly to
an Ethernet network.
The Ethernet module meets all of the IEEE 802.3
specifications for 10-BaseT connectivity to a twisted-pair
network. It incorporates a number of packet filtering
schemes to limit incoming packets. It also provides an
internal DMA module for fast data throughput and hardware assisted IP checksum calculations. Provisions are
also made for two LED outputs to indicate link and
network activity.
The Ethernet module consists of five major functional

blocks:

Physical Interfaces and External

Connections
SIGNAL AND POWER INTERFACES
PIC18F97J60 family devices all provide a dedicated

4-pin signal interface for the Ethernet module. No other
microcontroller or peripheral functions are multiplexed
with these pins, so potential device configuration
conflicts do not need to be considered. The pins are:
TPIN+: Differential plus twisted-pair input

TPIN-: Differential minus twisted-pair input
TPOUT+: Differential plus twisted-pair output
TPOUT-: Differential minus twisted-pair output
No provisions are made for providing or receiving

digital Ethernet data from an external Ethernet PHY.
In addition to the signal connections, the Ethernet module has its own independent voltage source and ground
connections for the PHY module. Separate connections
are provided for the receiver (VDDRX and VSSRX), the
transmitter (VDDTX and VSSTX) and the transmitters
internal PLL (VDDPLL and VSSPLL). Although the voltage
requirements are the same as VDD and VSS for the
microcontroller, the pins are not internally connected.
For the Ethernet module to operate properly, supply
voltage and ground must be connected to these pins. All
of the microcontrollers power and ground supply pins
should be externally connected to the same power
source or ground node, with no inductors or other filter
components between the microcontroller and Ethernet
modules VDD pins.
Besides the independent voltage connections, the PHY
module has a separate bias current input pin, RBIAS. A
bias current, derived from an external resistor, must be
applied to RBIAS for proper transceiver operation.
19.1.2
LED CONFIGURATION
The PHY module provides separate outputs to drive the

standard Ethernet indicators, LEDA and LEDB. The LED
outputs are multiplexed with PORTA pins, RA0 and RA1.
Their use as LED outputs is enabled by setting the Configuration bit, ETHLED (Register 25-6, CONFIG3H<2>).
When configured as LED outputs, RA0/LEDA and
RA1/LEDB have sufficient drive capacity (up to 25 mA)
to directly power the LEDs. The pins must always be
configured to supply (source) current to the LEDs. Users
must also configure the pins as outputs by clearing
TRISA<1:0>.
DS39762F-page 218
The LEDs can be individually configured to

automatically display link status, RX/TX activity, etc. A
configurable stretch capability prolongs the LED blink
duration for short events, such as a single packet
transmit, allowing human perception. The options are
controlled by the PHLCON register (Register 19-13).
Typical values for blink stretch are listed in Table 19-1.

19.1.3
OSCILLATOR REQUIREMENTS
The Ethernet module is designed to operate at 25 MHz.

This is provided by the primary microcontroller clock,
either with a 25 MHz crystal connected to the OSC1
and OSC2 pins or an external clock source connected
to the OSC1 pin. No provision is made to clock the
module from a different source.
To maintain the required clock frequency, the microcontroller can operate only from the primary oscillator
source (PRI_RUN or PRI_IDLE modes) while the
Ethernet module is enabled. Using any other
power-managed mode will require that the Ethernet
module be disabled.
19.1.3.1
Start-up Timer
The Ethernet module contains a start-up timer,

independent of the microcontrollers OST, to ensure
that the PHY modules PLL has stabilized before
operation. Clearing the module enable bit, ETHEN
(ECON2<5>), clears the PHYRDY status bit
(ESTAT<0>). Setting the ETHEN bit causes this
start-up timer to start counting. When the timer expires,
after 1 ms, the PHYRDY bit will be automatically set.
After enabling the module by setting the ETHEN bit, the
application software should always poll PHYRDY to
determine when normal Ethernet operation can begin.
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
MAGNETICS, TERMINATION AND
OTHER EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
To complete the Ethernet interface, the Ethernet

module requires several standard components to be
installed externally. These components should be
connected, as shown in Figure 19-2.
The internal analog circuitry in the PHY module requires
that an external resistor (2.26 k) be attached from
RBIAS to ground. The resistor influences the TPOUT+/signal amplitude. It should be placed as close as possible
to the chip with no immediately adjacent signal traces to
prevent noise capacitively coupling into the pin and
affecting the transmit behavior. It is recommended that
the resistor be a surface mount type.
On the TPIN+/TPIN- and TPOUT+/TPOUT- pins,
1:1 center-tapped pulse transformers, rated for Ethernet
operations (10/100 or 10/100/1000), are required. When
the Ethernet module is enabled, current is continually
sunk through both TPOUT pins. When the PHY is
actively transmitting, a differential voltage is created on
the Ethernet cable by varying the relative current sunk
by TPOUT+ compared to TPOUT-.
A common-mode choke on the PHY side of the interface
(i.e., between the microcontrollerss TPOUT pins and
the Ethernet transformer) is not recommend. If a
All power supply pins must be externally connected to

the same power source. Similarly, all ground references must be externally connected to the same
ground node. Each VDD and VSS pin pair should have
a 0.1 F ceramic bypass capacitor placed as close to
the pins as possible.
Since relatively high currents are necessary to operate
the twisted-pair interface, all wires should be kept as
short as possible. Reasonable wire widths should be
used on power wires to reduce resistive loss. If the
differential data lines cannot be kept short, they should
be routed in such a way as to have a 100 characteristic
impedance.

19.1.5
EMI EMISSIONS CONSIDERATIONS
Most locales have limits on unintentional EMI or EMC

emissions that govern the amount of electromagnetic
energy that may be radiated into the environment
across a range of test frequencies. Ethernet applications normally do not include intentional radio
frequency emissions sources. They may experience
occasional regulatory failures though, due to the relative ease at which high-frequency noise may radiate
out of a long attached Ethernet cable. Long cables can
act as unintentional antennas.
The PIC18F97J60 family Ethernet module transmit
engine internally operates by stepping the 25 MHz
base Ethernet clock up to a high frequency via a PLL
embedded in the PHY module. Then, the high
frequency is used to turn on/turn off small current sinks
on the TPOUT+ and TPOUT- pins. This current-mode
drive technique allows the PHY to generate an Ethernet TX waveform that resembles an analog signal, with
most spectral energy at or below 20 MHz.
However, while low in amplitude, the high frequency
used to synthesize the waveform can, in some application circuits, radiate out of the circuit and result in
regulatory emissions compliance failures. Such failures
caused by the Ethernet module will normally be exhibited as excess emissions at 200 MHz and occasionally
400 MHz.
To minimize the chance of failure, the use of the LC
low-pass filter is recommended on the TPOUT+ and
TPOUT- pins, as shown Figure 19-2.
In this circuit, 120 ohm ferrite beads are used along
with 56 pF5% capacitors to form a low-pass filter with
a -3dB breakpoint that is above 20 MHz, but below
200 MHz. 10Base-T Ethernet signaling requires only
about 20 MHz of spectral bandwidth, so minimal distortion is done to the Ethernet signal by using these filters.
However, noise at 200 MHz or 400 MHz, generated by
the PHY, is reduced by several decibels before having
a chance to radiate out of the application and cause a
regulatory failure. In this circuit, the ferrite beads must
have a saturation current rating of at least 100 mA.
If EMI emissions regulations are stringent in your
locale, additional care should be taken when selecting
the Ethernet magnetics to further minimize unintentionally radiating common-mode signals out of the Ethernet
cable. Ethernet magnetics with a high differential to
common-mode rejection ratio should be used.
The differential to common-mode rejection parameter
is normally expressed in magnetics manufacturers
data sheets, in units of negative decibels across a test
frequency range. In the absence of test data indicating
otherwise, a more negative specification at higher
frequencies is recommended for the PIC18F97J60
family Ethernet module. For example, a device rated
for -40 dB @ 100 MHz is likely preferable to -33 dB @
100 MHz, even if the performance at 30 MHz is similar
or better on the -33 dB @ 100MHz magnetics.
DS39762F-page 220
Often, the use of 5-core magnetics, or magnetics involving a center tapped inductor or auto-transformer on the
TX path, is also desirable for EMI emissions reasons.
19.1.6
AUTOMATIC RX POLARITY
DETECTION AND CORRECTION
10Base-T Ethernet signaling is performed on the Ethernet cable as a differentially encoded Manchester data
stream. This signaling is polarized; therefore, it is
required that the RX+ Ethernet signal on the Ethernet
cable reach the TPIN+ pin, and the RX- Ethernet signal
reach the TPIN- pin. Connecting RX+ to TPIN- and RXto TPIN+ (by way of Ethernet isolation transformers)
will cause the PIC18F97J60 family Ethernet module to
successfully link with the remote partner. However, all
receive data will be corrupted by the polarity mismatch
and will be internally discarded by the PHY as if it were
noise on the wire.
Higher speed 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T Ethernet
technologies uses different signaling schemes. They
use Multi-Level Transition 3 (MLT3) and Five-Level
Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM5) encoding on the
wire, respectively. These encodings are non-polarized.
Therefore, swapping the differential wires will have no
impact on the Ethernet controller's ability to
communicate with the remote node.
A limited number of modern 3rd party 10/100 and
10/100/1000 rated Ethernet devices (switches, routers
and end devices) connect their TX+ and TX- signals to the
incorrect pins on their RJ-45 Ethernet jack. These devices
are not IEEE Standard 802.3 compliant. However,
because 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T communications
continue to work without correct polarization, some 3rd
party vendors mistakenly release their products to
production without catching these polarization errors.
Due to these circumstances, current revisions of the
Ethernet controller in the PIC18F97J60 family of
devices are not compatible with a limited number of 3rd
party Ethernet devices. The PIC18FXXJXX devices will
link up with the partner and the PHY RX activity LED (if
enabled) will blink whenever a packet is transmitted to
the PIC18FXXJXX device. However, no packets will be
successfully received and written in the Ethernet
SRAM buffer when the polarity is incorrect. To eliminate
this problem, and obtain maximum interoperability with
3rd party devices, it is possible to externally add an RX
polarity swapping circuit to PIC18F97J60 family
applications. Figure 19-3 demonstrates the use of bus
switches to facilitate the swapping of the RX signals.
In Figure 19-3, a general purpose output pin is used to
select the polarity of the RX signals. When the select line
is held low, the A ports of the switches will connect with
the B0 ports, leaving the B1 ports disconnected. This will
allow the TPIN+ pin to be connected to Pin 3 of the
RJ-45 jack while TPIN- is connected to Pin 6. These
connections accommodate the IEEE Standard 802.3
specified polarity.
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
When the select line is raised high, the A ports of the
switches will connect with the B1 ports, leaving the B0
ports disconnected. This will swap the RX polarity and
route the TPIN+ pin to the signal on RJ-45 Jack Pin 6.
TPIN- will connect to RJ-45 Pin 3. This swapped polarity can correct an incorrectly wired signal generated at
the remote link partner or in the intermediate cabling.
immediate response. This method requires the use of

a protocol that results in a response packet from the
network. In many networks, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) discovery packets may be used
to resolve the correct TPIN polarity quickly.
Care should be taken when selecting the bus switches
to ensure that they are capable of passing the Ethernet
signals without distortion. The TPIN pins will weakly
bias the RX common-mode voltage to approximately
VDD/2, and the Ethernet RX waveform will add up to
1.4V onto this common-mode voltage. Therefore, the
switches must be capable of passing signals of at least
3.05V.
In the MCU, software must be written to toggle the

select line state to the correct level based on the connected link partner. This is best achieved by
periodically toggling the select line at low frequency
(<5 Hz), while watching for a successful packet reception event. When the correct polarity is found, the select
line should stop toggling and remain static until the
Ethernet link is removed.
Additionally, the bus switches should have low

capacitance to minimize the signal loss and impedance
discontinuity that may affect the RX signal. The
switches, rated -3dB bandwidth, must be well above
20 MHz.
In some cases, rather than periodically toggling the

polarity select at a low frequency to receive a packet,
faster determination of the correct polarity may be
determined by transmitting a packet and looking for an

Ethernet Buffer and Register

Spaces
The Ethernet module uses three independent memory

spaces for its operations:
An Ethernet RAM buffer which stores packet data
as it is received and being prepared for
transmission.
A set of 8-bit Special Function Registers (SFRs),
used to control the module, and pass data back and
forth between the module and microcontroller core.
A separate set of 16-bit PHY registers used
specifically for PHY control and status reporting.
FIGURE 19-4:
The Ethernet buffer and PHY Control registers are

contained entirely within the Ethernet module and cannot be accessed directly by the microcontroller. Data is
transferred between the Ethernet and microcontroller
by using buffer and pointer registers mapped in the
microcontrollers SFR space. The relationships
between the SFRs and the Ethernet modules memory
spaces are shown in Figure 19-4.

19.2.1
ETHERNET BUFFER AND BUFFER

POINTER REGISTERS
The Ethernet buffer contains the transmit and receive

memory used by the Ethernet controller. The entire
buffer is 8 Kbytes, divided into separate receive and
transmit buffer spaces. The sizes and locations of
transmit and receive memory are fully definable using
the pointers in the Ethernet SFR space. The organization of the memory space and the relationships of the
pointers are shown in Figure 19-5.
The buffer is always accessible through the EDATA and
Ethernet Pointer SFRs, regardless of whether or not the
Ethernet module is enabled. This makes the buffer
potentially useful for applications requiring large amounts
of RAM and that do not require Ethernet communication.
In these instances, disabling the Ethernet module
reduces overall power usage but does not prevent buffer
access.
19.2.1.1
Reading and Writing to the Buffer
The Ethernet buffer contents are accessed through the

EDATA register, which acts as a window from the
microcontroller data bus into the buffer. The location of
that window is determined by either the ERDPT or
EWRPT Pointers, depending on the operation being
performed. For example, writing to EDATA causes a
write to the Ethernet buffer at the address currently
indicated by the EWRPT register pair. Similarly, moving
the contents of EDATA to another register actually
moves the buffer contents at the address indicated by
the ERDPT Pointer.
When the AUTOINC bit (ECON2<7>) is set, the associated Read or Write Pointer increments by one
address following each read or write operation. This
eliminates the need to constantly update a pointer after
each read or write, simplifying multiple sequential
operations. By default, the AUTOINC bit is set.
While sequentially reading from the receive buffer, a
wrapping condition will occur at the end of the receive
buffer. A read of EDATA, from the address programmed
into the ERXND Pointers, will cause the ERDPT

registers to be incremented to the value contained in
the ERXST Pointers. Writing to the buffer, on the other
hand, does not result in automatic wrapping.
By design, the Ethernet memory buffer is unable to
support a set of operations where EDATA is used as
both an operand and a data destination. Failure to
observe these restrictions will result in a corrupted read
or write. Also, due to the read-modify-write architecture
of the processor core, single-cycle instructions, which
write to the EDATA register, will have a side effect of
automatically incrementing the ERDPT registers when
AUTOINC is set. Using double-cycle MOVFF, MOVSF
and MOVSS instructions to write to EDATA will not affect
the Read Pointer. See the following note for examples.
Note:
Any single instruction that performs both a

read and write to the EDATA SFR register
will result in a corrupted operation.

19.2.1.2
Receive Buffer
The receive buffer constitutes a circular FIFO buffer

managed by hardware. The register pairs,
ERXSTH:ERXSTL and ERXNDH:ERXNDL, serve as
pointers to define the buffers size and location within
the memory. The byte pointed to by the ERXST pair
and the byte pointed to by the ERXND pair are both
included in the FIFO buffer.
As bytes of data are received from the Ethernet
interface, they are written into the receive buffer
sequentially. However, after the memory pointed to by
the ERXND Pointers is written to, the hardware will
automatically write the next byte of received data to the
memory pointed to by the ERXST pair. As a result, the
receive hardware will never write outside the
boundaries of the FIFO.
The user may program the ERXST and ERXND
Pointers while the receive logic is disabled. The pointers must not be modified while the receive logic is
enabled (ERXEN (ECON1<2>) is set).
The buffer hardware uses an Internal Pointer (not
mapped to any user-accessible registers) to determine
where unvalidated incoming data is to be written. When
a packet has been completely received and validated,
FIGURE 19-6:
the read-only ERXWRPTH:ERXWRPTL registers are

updated with the Internal Pointers value. Thus, the
ERXWRPT registers define the general area in the
receive buffer where data is currently being written. This
makes it useful for determining how much free space is
available within the FIFO.
The ERXRDPT registers define a location within the
FIFO where the receive hardware is forbidden to write to.
In normal operation, the receive hardware will write data
up to, but not including, the memory pointed to by the
ERXRDPT registers. If the FIFO fills up with data and
new data continues to arrive, the hardware will not overwrite the previously received data. Instead, the incoming
data will be thrown away and the old data will be
preserved. In order to continuously receive new data, the
application must periodically advance this pointer whenever it finishes processing some, or all, of the old
received data.
An example of how the Receive Buffer Pointers and
packet data are related in the circular buffer scheme is
shown in Figure 19-6. Note that while four packets are
shown in this example, the actual number of packets
may be greater or lesser.

19.2.1.3
Transmit Buffer
Any space within the 8-Kbyte memory which is not

programmed as part of the receive FIFO buffer is considered to be the transmit buffer. The responsibility of
managing where packets are located in the transmit buffer belongs to the application. Whenever the application
decides to transmit a packet, the ETXST and ETXND
Pointers are programmed with addresses specifying
where, within the transmit buffer, the particular packet to
transmit is located. The hardware does not check that the
start and end addresses do not overlap with the receive
buffer. To prevent buffer corruption, the firmware must not
transmit a packet while the ETXST and ETXND Pointers
are overlapping the receive buffer, or while the ETXND
Pointers are too close to the receive buffer. See
Section 19.5.2 Transmitting Packets for more
information.
19.2.1.4
Buffer Arbiter and Access Arbitration
The Ethernet buffer is clocked at one-half of the microcontroller clock rate. Varying amounts of memory
access bandwidth are available depending on the clock
speed. The total bandwidth available, in bytes per second, is equal to twice the instruction rate (2 * FCY or
FOSC/2). For example, at a system clock speed of
41.667 MHz, the total available memory bandwidth that
is available is 20.834 Mbyte/s. At an Ethernet signaling
rate of 10 Mbit/s, the Ethernet RX engine requires
1.25 Mbyte/s of buffer memory bandwidth to operate
without causing an overrun. If Full-Duplex mode is
used, an additional 1.25 Mbyte/s is required to allow for
simultaneous RX and TX activity.
Because of the finite available memory bandwidth, a
three-channel arbiter is used to allocate bandwidth
between the RX engine, the TX and DMA engines, and
the microcontrollers CPU (i.e., the application access-
TABLE 19-2:
ing EDATA). The arbiter gives the EDATA register

accesses first priority, while all remaining bandwidth is
shared between the RX and TX/DMA blocks.
With arbitration, bandwidth limitations require that
some care be taken in balancing the needs of the modules hardware with that of the application. Accessing
the EDATA register too often may result in the RX or TX
blocks causing a buffer overrun or underrun, respectively. If such a memory access failure occurs, the
BUFER bit (ESTAT<6>), and either the TXERIF or
RXERIF interrupt flag, becomes set, and a TX or RX
interrupt occurs (if enabled). In either case, the current
packet will be lost or aborted.
To eliminate the risk of lost packets, run the microcontroller core at higher speeds. Following the arbitration
restrictions, shown in Table 19-2, will prevent memory
access failures from occurring. Also, avoid using segments of application code which perform back-to-back
accesses of the EDATA register. Instead, insert one or
more instructions (including NOP instructions) between
each read or write to EDATA.
19.2.1.5
DMA Access to the Buffer
The integrated DMA controller must read from the

buffer when calculating a checksum, and it must read
and write to the buffer when copying memory. The DMA
follows the same wrapping rules as previously
described for the receive buffer. While it sequentially
reads, it will be subject to a wrapping condition at the
end of the receive buffer. All writes it does will not be
subject to any wrapping conditions. See Section 19.9
Direct Memory Access Controller for more
information.

19.2.2
SFRs AND THE ETHERNET MODULE
Like other peripherals, direct control of the Ethernet

module is accomplished through a set of SFRs.
Because of their large number, the majority of these
registers is located in the bottom half of Bank 14 of the
microcontrollers data memory space.
Five key SFRs for the Ethernet module are located in
the microcontrollers regular SFR area in Bank 15,
where fast access is possible. They are:
ECON1
EDATA
EIR
The Ethernet Buffer Read Pointer Pair (ERDPTH
and ERDPTL)
ECON1 is described along with other Ethernet control

registers in the following section. EDATA and
ERDPTH:ERDPTL are the Ethernet Data Buffer
registers and its pointers during read operations (see
Section 19.2.1 Ethernet Buffer and Buffer Pointer
Registers). EIR is part of the Ethernet interrupt
structure and is described in Section 19.3 Ethernet
Interrupts.
REGISTER 19-1:
Many of the Ethernet SFRs in Bank 14 serve as pointer

registers to indicate addresses within the dedicated
Ethernet buffer for storage and retrieval of packet data.
Others store information for packet pattern masks or
checksum operations. Several are used for controlling
overall module operations, as well as specific MAC and
PHY functions.
19.2.3
ETHERNET CONTROL REGISTERS
The ECON1 register (Register 19-1) is used to control

the main functions of the module. Receive enable, transmit request and DMA control bits are all located here.
The ECON2 register (Register 19-2) is used to control
other top level functions of the module. The ESTAT
register (Register 19-3) is used to report the high-level
status of the module and Ethernet communications.
The Ethernet SFRs with the E prefix are always
accessible, regardless of whether or not the module is
enabled.

MAC AND MII REGISTERS
Note 1: Do not access the MAC and MII SFRs

unless the Ethernet module is enabled
(ETHEN = 1).
These SFRs are used to control the operations of the

MAC, and through the MIIM, the PHY. The MAC and
MII registers occupy data addresses, E80h-E85h,
E8Ah and EA0h through EB9h.
Although MAC and MII registers appear in the general
memory map of the microcontroller, these registers are
embedded inside the MAC module. Host interface logic
translates the microcontroller data/address bus data to
be able to access these registers. The host interface
logic imposes restrictions on how firmware is able to
access the MAC and MII SFRs. See the following
notes.
REGISTER 19-4:
2: Back-to-back accesses of MAC or MII

registers are not supported. Between any
instruction which addresses a MAC or MII
register, at least one NOP or other
instruction must be executed.
The three MACON registers control specific MAC operations and packet configuration operations. They are
shown in Register 19-4 through Register 19-6.
The MII registers are used to control the MIIM interface
and serve as the communication channel with the PHY
registers. They are shown in Register 19-7 and
Register 19-8.

19.2.5
PHY REGISTERS
The PHY registers provide configuration and control of

the PHY module, as well as status information about its
operation. All PHY registers are 16 bits in width.
PHY registers are accessed with a 5-bit address, for a
total of 32 possible registers; of these, only 7 addresses
are implemented. The implemented registers are listed
in Table 19-3. The main PHY Control registers are
described in Register 19-9 through Register 19-13. The
other PHY Control and Status registers are described
later in this chapter.
Unimplemented registers must never be written to.
Reading these locations will return indeterminate data.
Within implemented registers, all reserved bit locations
that are listed as writable must always be written with
the value provided in the register description. When
read, these reserved bits can be ignored.
Thy PHY registers are only accessible through the MII
Management interface. They must not be read or
written to until the PHY start-up timer has expired and
the PHYRDY bit (ESTAT<0>) is set.
19.2.5.1
The PHSTAT1 register (Register 19-10) contains the

LLSTAT bit. The bit clears and latches low if the physical
layer link has gone down since the last read of the
register. The application can periodically poll LLSTAT to
determine exactly when the link fails. It may be
particularly useful if the link change interrupt is not used.
The PHSTAT2 register (Register 19-12) contains status
bits which report if the PHY module is linked to the
network and whether or not it is transmitting or receiving.
19.2.5.2
Accessing PHY Registers
As already mentioned, the PHY registers exist in a

different memory space and are not directly accessible
by the microcontroller. Instead, they are addressed
through a special set of MII registers in the Ethernet
SFR bank that implement a Media Independent
Interface Management (MIIM).
Access is similar to that of the Ethernet buffer, but uses
separate read and write buffers (MIRDH:MIRDL and
MIWRH:MIWRL) and a 5-bit address register
(MIREGADR). In addition, the MICMD and MISTAT
registers are used to control read and write operations.
PHSTAT Registers
The PHSTAT1 and PHSTAT2 registers contain

read-only bits that show the current status of the PHY
modules operations, particularly the conditions of the
communications link to the rest of the network.
DS39762F-page 232
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
To read from a PHY register:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Write the address of the PHY register to be read

into the MIREGADR register.
Set the MIIRD bit (MICMD<0>). The read
operation begins and the BUSY bit (MISTAT<0>)
is set after two TCY.
Wait 10.24 s, then poll the BUSY bit to be
certain that the operation is complete. When the
MAC has obtained the register contents, the
BUSY bit will clear itself. While BUSY is set, the
user application should not start any MIISCAN
operations or write to the MIWRH register.
Clear the MIIRD bit.
Read the entire 16 bits of the PHY register from
the MIRDL and MIRDH registers.
To write to a PHY register:

1.
2.
3.
Write the address of the PHY register to be

written into the MIREGADR register.
Write the lower 8 bits of data to write into the
MIWRL register.
Write the upper 8 bits of data to write into the
MIWRH register. Writing to this register automatically begins the MII transaction, so it must
be written to after MIWRL. The BUSY bit is set
automatically after two TCY.
The PHY register is written after the MII operation

completes, which takes 10.24 s. When the write
operation has completed, the BUSY bit will clear itself.
The application should not start any MII scan or read
operations while busy.
When a PHY register is written to, the entire 16 bits are
written at once; selective bit and/or byte writes are not
implemented. If it is necessary to reprogram only select
bits in the register, the controller must first read the
PHY register, modify the resulting data and then write
the data back to the PHY register.
The MAC can also be configured to perform automatic

back-to-back read operations on a PHY register. To
perform this scan operation:
1.
2.
Write the address of the PHY register to be

scanned into the MIREGADR register.
Set the MIISCAN bit (MICMD<1>). The scan
operation begins and the BUSY bit is set after
two TCY.
After MIISCAN is set, the NVALID (MISTAT<2>), SCAN

and BUSY bits are also set. The first read operation will
complete after 10.24 s. Subsequent reads will be
done and the MIRDL and MIRDH registers will be continuously updated automatically at the same interval
until the operation is cancelled. The NVALID bit may be
polled to determine when the first read operation is
complete.
There is no status information which can be used to
determine when the MIRD registers are updated. Since
only one MII register can be read at a time, it must not
be assumed that the values of MIRDL and MIRDH
were read from the PHY at exactly the same time
during a scan operation.
MIISCAN should remain set as long as the scan
operation is desired. The BUSY and SCAN bits are
automatically cleared after MIISCAN is set to 0 and
the last read sequence is completed. MIREGADR
should not be updated while MIISCAN is set.
Starting new PHY operations, such as a read operation
or writing to the MIWRH register, must not be done
while a scan is underway. The operation can be
cancelled by clearing the MIISCAN bit and then polling
the BUSY bit. New operations may be started after the
BUSY bit is cleared.

Ethernet Interrupts
Note:
The Ethernet module can generate multiple interrupt

conditions. To accommodate all of these sources, the
module has its own interrupt logic structure, similar to
that of the microcontroller. Separate sets of registers
are used to enable and flag different interrupt
conditions.
The EIE register contains the individual interrupt
enable bits for each source, while the EIR register contains the corresponding interrupt flag bits. When an
interrupt occurs, the interrupt flag is set. If the interrupt
is enabled in the EIE register, and the corresponding
ETHIE Global Interrupt Enable bit is set, the microcontrollers master Ethernet Interrupt Flag (ETHIF) is
set, as appropriate (see Figure 19-7).
FIGURE 19-7:
19.3.1
Except for the LINKIF interrupt flag,

interrupt flag bits are set when an interrupt
condition occurs, regardless of the state of
its corresponding enable bit or the associated global enable bit. User software
should ensure the appropriate interrupt
flag bits are clear prior to enabling an
interrupt. This feature allows for software
polling.
CONTROL INTERRUPT (ETHIE)

are shown in Register 19-14 through Register 19-17.

PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
19.3.1.1
Receive Error Interrupt (RXERIF)
4.
The receive error interrupt is used to indicate that a

packet being received was aborted due to an error
condition. Three errors are possible:
1.
2.
3.
No buffer space is available to store the

incoming packet (buffer overflow);
Receiving another packet would cause the
EPKTCNT counter to overflow, because it
already contains the value, 255; or
The Ethernet RX hardware was not allocated
enough memory bandwidth to write the
incoming data to the buffer.
When a packet is being received and the receive error

occurs, the packet being received will be aborted (permanently lost) and the RXERIF bit will be set to 1.
Once set, RXERIF can only be cleared by firmware or
by a Reset condition. If the receive error interrupt and
Ethernet interrupt are enabled (both RXERIE and
ETHIE are set), an Ethernet interrupt is generated. If
the receive error interrupt is not enabled (either
RXERIE or ETHIE is cleared), the application may poll
RXERIF and take appropriate action.
Normally, upon the first two receive error conditions
(buffer overflow or potential EPKTCNT overflow), the
application would process any packets pending from
the receive buffer, and then make additional room for
future packets by advancing the ERXRDPT registers
(low byte first) and decrementing the EPKTCNT register. See Section 19.5.3.3 Freeing Receive Buffer
Space for more information on processing packets.
Once processed, the application should clear the
RXERIF bit.
The third condition (insufficient RX memory bandwidth)
can be identified by checking if the BUFER bit
(ESTAT<6>) has been set. Memory access errors that
set BUFER are generally transient in nature, and do not
require run-time resolution. Adjustments to the application and its allocation of buffer memory bandwidth may
be necessary if BUFER errors are frequent or
persistent.
19.3.1.2
Transmit Error Interrupt (TXERIF)
The transmit error interrupt is used to indicate that a

transmit abort has occurred. An abort can occur
because of any of the following conditions:
1.
2.
3.
More than 15 collisions occurred while attempting

to transmit a given packet.
A late collision (collision after 64 bytes of a
packet had been transmitted) has occurred.
The transmission was unable to gain an opportunity to transmit the packet because the
medium was constantly occupied for too long.
The deferral limit was reached and the DEFER
bit (MACON4<6>) was clear.
5.
An attempt to transmit a packet larger than the

maximum frame length, defined by the
MAMXFL registers, was made without setting
the HFRMEN bit (MACON3<2>) or per-packet
POVERRIDE and PHUGEEN bits.
The Ethernet buffer did not have enough memory bandwidth to maintain the required 10 Mbit/s
transfer rate (buffer underrun).
Upon any of these conditions, the TXERIF flag is set to

1. Once set, it can only be cleared by firmware or by a
Reset condition. If the transmit error interrupt is
enabled (TXERIE and ETHIE are both set), an Ethernet
interrupt is generated. If the transmit error interrupt is
not enabled (either TXERIE or ETHIE is cleared), the
application may poll TXERIF and take appropriate
action. Once the interrupt is processed, the flag bit
should be cleared.
After a transmit abort, the TXRTS bit (ECON1<3>) will
be cleared, the TXABRT bit (ESTAT<1>) becomes set
and the transmit status vector will be written at the
ETXND registers + 1. The MAC will not automatically
attempt to retransmit the packet. The application may
wish to read the transmit status vector and BUFER bit
to determine the cause of the abort. After determining
the problem and solution, the application should clear
the BUFER (if set) and TXABRT bits so that future
aborts can be detected accurately.
In Full-Duplex mode, Conditions 4 and 5 are the only
ones that should cause this interrupt. Condition 5 can
be further distinguished as it also sets the BUFER bit.
Collisions and other problems related to sharing the
network are not possible on full-duplex networks. The
conditions, which cause the transmit error interrupt,
meet the requirements of the transmit interrupt. As a
result, when this interrupt occurs, TXIF will also be
simultaneously set.
19.3.1.3
Transmit Interrupt (TXIF)
The transmit interrupt is used to indicate that the

requested packet transmission has ended (the TXRTS
bit has transitioned from 1 to 0). Upon transmission
completion, abort, or transmission cancellation by the
application, the TXIF flag will be set to 1. If the
application did not clear the TXRTS bit, and the
TXABRT bit is not set, the packet was successfully
transmitted. Once TXIF is set, it can only be cleared in
software or by a Reset condition. If the transmit
interrupt is enabled (TXIE and ETHIE are both set), an
interrupt is generated. If the transmit interrupt is not
enabled (either TXIE or ETHIE is cleared), the
application may poll the TXIF bit and take appropriate
action.
DS39762F-page 243
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
19.3.1.4
Link Change Interrupt (LINKIF)
The LINKIF indicates that the link status has changed.

The actual current link status can be obtained from the
LLSTAT (PHSTAT1<2>) or LSTAT (PHSTAT2<10>) bits
(see Register 19-10 and Register 19-12). Unlike other
interrupt sources, the link status change interrupt is
created in the integrated PHY module; additional steps
must be taken to enable it.
By Reset default, LINKIF is never set for any reason. To
receive it, both the PLNKIE and PGEIE bits must be
set. When the interrupt is enabled, the LINKIF bit will
shadow the contents of the PGIF bit. The PHY only
supports one interrupt, so the PGIF bit will always be
the same as the PLNKIF bit (when both PHY enable
bits are set).
Once LINKIF is set, it can only be cleared in software
or by a Reset. If the link change interrupt is enabled
(LINKIE, PLNKIE, PGEIE and ETHIE are all set), an
interrupt is generated. If the link change interrupt is not
enabled (LINKIE, PLNKIE, PGEIE or ETHIE are
cleared), the user application may poll the PLNKIF flag
and take appropriate action.
The LINKIF bit is read-only. Because reading PHY
registers requires a non-negligible period of time, the
application may instead set PLNKIE and PGEIE, then
poll the LINKIF flag bit. Performing an MII read on the
PHIR register will clear the LINKIF, PGIF and PLNKIF
bits automatically, and allow for future link status change
interrupts. See Section 19.2.5 PHY Registers for
information on accessing the PHY registers.
19.3.1.5
The PKTIF bit can only be cleared indirectly in software,

by decrementing the EPKTCNT register to 0, or by a
Reset condition. See Section 19.5.3 Receiving Packets for more information about clearing the EPKTCNT
register. When the last data packet in the receive buffer
is processed, EPKTCNT becomes zero and the PKTIF
bit is automatically cleared.
19.3.2
Receive Packet Pending Interrupt

(PKTIF)
The receive packet pending interrupt is used to indicate

the presence of one or more data packets in the receive
buffer and to provide a notification means for the arrival
of new packets. When the receive buffer has at least
one packet in it, the PKTIF flag bit is set. In other words,
this interrupt flag will be set any time the Ethernet
Packet Count register (EPKTCNT) is non-zero.
DS39762F-page 244
ETHERNET INTERRUPTS AND

WAKE-ON-LAN
The Ethernet interrupt structure implements a version

of Wake-on-LAN, also called Remote Wake-up, using a
Magic Packet data packet. This allows the application
to conserve power in Idle mode, and then return to
full-power operation only when a specific wake-up
packet is received.
For Remote Wake-up to work, the Ethernet module
must remain enabled at all times. It is also necessary to
configure the receive filters to select for Magic Packets.
For more information on filter configuration, see
Section 19.8 Receive Filters.
To configure the microcontroller for Remote Wake-up:
1.
DMA Interrupt (DMAIF)
The DMA interrupt indicates that the DMA module has

completed its memory copy or checksum calculation
(the DMAST bit has transitioned from 1 to 0). Additionally, this interrupt will be caused if the application
cancels a DMA operation by manually clearing the
DMAST bit. Once set, DMAIF can only be cleared by
the firmware or by a Reset condition. If the DMA interrupt is enabled, an Ethernet interrupt is generated. If
the DMA interrupt is not enabled, the user application
may poll the DMAIF flag status and take appropriate
action. Once processed, the flag bit should be cleared.
19.3.1.6
When the receive packet pending interrupt is enabled

(both PKTIE and ETHIE are set), an Ethernet interrupt
is generated whenever a new packet is successfully
received and written into the receive buffer. If the
receive packet pending interrupt is not enabled (either
PKTIE or ETHIE is cleared), the user application may
poll the PKTIF bit and take appropriate action.
2.
3.
4.
With the Ethernet module enabled and in normal

operating configuration, enable the CRC
post-filter
and
Magic
Packets
filter
(ERXFCON<5,3> = 1).
Finish processing any pending packets in the
Ethernet buffer.
Enable Ethernet interrupts at the microcontroller level (PIE2<5> = 1) and the receive
packet pending interrupt at the module level
(EIE<6> = 1).
Place the microcontroller in PRI_IDLE mode (with
the primary clock source selected and
OSCCON<7> = 1, execute the SLEEP instruction).
In this configuration, the receipt of a Magic Packet data

packet will cause a receive packet pending interrupt.
This, in turn, will cause the microcontroller to wake-up
from the interrupt.
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
19.4
Module Initialization
Before the Ethernet module can be used to transmit

and receive packets, certain device settings must be
initialized. Depending on the application, some configuration options may need to be changed. Normally,
these tasks may be accomplished once after Reset and
do not need to be changed thereafter.
Before any other configuration actions are taken, it is
recommended that the module be enabled by setting
the ETHEN bit (ECON2<5>). This reduces the Idle time
that might otherwise result while waiting for the
PHYRDY flag to become set.
19.4.1
RECEIVE BUFFER
Before receiving any packets, the receive buffer must

be initialized by setting the ERXST and ERXND Pointers. All memory between and including the ERXST and
ERXND addresses will be dedicated to the receive
hardware. The ERXST Pointers must be programmed
with an even address while the ERXND Pointers must
be programmed with an odd address.
19.4.4
If the initialization procedure is being executed immediately after enabling the module (setting the ETHEN bit
to 1), the PHYRDY bit should be polled to make
certain that enough time (1 ms) has elapsed before
proceeding to modify the PHY registers. For more
information on the PHY start-up timer, see
Section 19.1.3.1 Start-up Timer.

19.4.3

5.
TRANSMISSION BUFFER
All memory which is not used by the receive buffer is

considered to be the transmission buffer. Data which is
to be transmitted should be written into any unused
space. After a packet is transmitted, however, the hardware will write a 7-byte status vector into memory after
the last byte in the packet. Therefore, the application
should leave at least 7 bytes between each packet and
the beginning of the receive buffer.
RECEIVE FILTERS
MAC INITIALIZATION SETTINGS
Several of the MAC registers require configuration during

initialization. This only needs to be done once during
initialization; the order of programming is unimportant.
Applications expecting large amounts of data and

frequent packet delivery may wish to allocate most of
the memory as the receive buffer. Applications that
may need to save older packets, or have several
packets ready for transmission, should allocate less
memory.
When programming the ERXST or ERXND Pointers, the
ERXWRPT Pointer registers will automatically be
updated with the value in the ERXST registers. The
address in the ERXWRPT registers will be used as the
starting location when the receive hardware begins
writing received data. When the ERXST and ERXND
Pointers are initialized, the ERXRDPT registers should
additionally be programmed with the value of the
ERXND registers. To program the ERXRDPT registers,
write to ERXRDPTL first, followed by ERXRDPTH. See
Section 19.5.3.3 Freeing Receive Buffer Space for
more information.
WAITING FOR THE PHY START-UP

TIMER
6.

8.
Set the MARXEN bit (MACON1<0>) to enable

the MAC to receive frames. If using full duplex,
most applications should also set TXPAUS and
RXPAUS to allow IEEE defined flow control to
function.
Configure the PADCFG<2:0>, TXCRCEN and
FULDPX bits in the MACON3 register. Most
applications should enable automatic padding to
at least 60 bytes and always append a valid
CRC. For convenience, many applications may
wish to set the FRMLNEN bit as well to enable
frame length status reporting. The FULDPX bit
should be set if the application will be connected
to a full-duplex configured remote node;
otherwise leave it clear.
Configure the bits in MACON4. For maintaining
compliance with IEEE 802.3, be certain to set
the DEFER bit (MACON4<6>).
Program the MAMXFL registers with the maximum frame length to be permitted to be received
or transmitted. Normal network nodes are
designed to handle packets that are 1518 bytes
or less; larger packets are not supported by
IEEE 802.3.
Configure the MAC Back-to-Back Inter-Packet
Gap register, MABBIPG, with 15h (when
Full-Duplex mode is used) or 12h (when
Half-Duplex mode is used). Refer to
Register 19-18 for a more detailed description of
configuring the inter-packet gap.
Configure the MAC Non Back-to-Back
Inter-Packet Gap Low Byte register, MAIPGL,
with 12h.
If half duplex is used, configure the MAC Non
Back-to-Back Inter-Packet Gap High Byte
register, MAIPGH, with 0Ch.
Program the local MAC address into the
MAADR1:MAADR6 registers.
The appropriate receive filters should be enabled or

disabled by writing to the ERXFCON register. See
Section 19.8 Receive Filters for information on how
to configure it.

19.4.6
PHY INITIALIZATION SETTINGS
Depending on the application, bits in three of the PHY

modules registers may also require configuration.
The PDPXMD bit (PHCON1<8>) controls the PHY
half/full-duplex configuration. The application must
program the bit properly, along with the FULDPX bit
(MACON3<0>).
The HDLDIS bit (PHCON2<8>) disables automatic
loopback of data. For proper operation, always set both
HDLDIS and RXAPDIS (PHCON2<4>).
The PHY register, PHLCON (Register 19-13), controls
the outputs of LEDA and LEDB. If an application
requires a LED configuration other than the default,
alter this register to match the new requirements. The
settings for LED operation are discussed in
Section 19.1.2 LED Configuration.
19.4.7
There may be circumstances during which the Ethernet

module is not needed for prolonged periods. For
example, in situations where the application only needs
to transmit or receive Ethernet packets on the occurrence of a particular event. In these cases, the module
can be selectively powered down.

DISABLING THE ETHERNET

MODULE
Turn off packet reception by clearing the RXEN

bit.
Wait for any in-progress packets to finish being
received by polling the RXBUSY bit
(ESTAT<2>). This bit should be clear before
proceeding.
Wait for any current transmissions to end by
confirming that the TXRTS bit (ECON1<3>) is
clear.
Clear the ETHEN bit. This removes power and
clock sources from the module, and makes the
PHY registers inaccessible. The PHYRDY bit is
also cleared automatically.

Transmitting and Receiving Data
The Ethernet protocol (IEEE Standard 802.3) provides

an extremely detailed description of the 10 Mbps,
frame-based serial communications system. Before
discussing the actual use of the Ethernet module, a
brief review of the structure of a typical Ethernet data
frame may be appropriate. It is assumed that users
already have some familiarity with IEEE 802.3. Those
requiring more information should refer to the official
standard, or other Ethernet reference texts, for a more
comprehensive explanation.
19.5.1
PACKET FORMAT
Normal IEEE 802.3 compliant Ethernet frames are

between 64 and 1518 bytes long. They are made up of
five or six different fields: a destination MAC address, a
source MAC address, a type/length field, data payload,
an optional padding field and a Cyclic Redundancy
Check (CRC). Additionally, when transmitted on the
FIGURE 19-8:
Ethernet medium, a 7-byte preamble field and

Start-of-Frame (SOF) delimiter byte are appended to
the beginning of the Ethernet packet. Thus, traffic seen
on the twisted-pair cabling will appear as shown in
Figure 19-8.
19.5.1.1
Preamble/Start-of-Frame Delimiter
When transmitting and receiving data with the Ethernet

module, the preamble and Start-of-Frame delimiter
bytes are automatically generated, or stripped from the
packets, when they are transmitted or received. It can
also automatically generate CRC fields and padding as
needed on transmission, and verify CRC data on
reception. The user application does not need to create
or process these fields, or manually verify CRC data.
However, the padding and CRC fields are written into
the receive buffer when packets arrive, so they may be
evaluated by the user application as needed.

PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
19.5.1.2
Destination Address
The destination address field is a 6-byte field filled with

the MAC address of the device that the packet is
directed to. If the Least Significant bit in the first byte of
the MAC address is set, the address is a Multicast
destination. For example, 01-00-00-00-F0-00 and
33-45-67-89-AB-CD are Multicast addresses, while
00-00-00-00-F0-00 and 32-45-67-89-AB-CD are not.
Packets with Multicast destination addresses are
designed to arrive and be important to a selected group
of Ethernet nodes. If the destination address field is the
reserved Multicast address, FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF, the
packet is a Broadcast packet and it will be directed to
everyone sharing the network. If the Least Significant
bit in the first byte of the MAC address is clear, the
address is a Unicast address and will be designed for
usage by only the addressed node.
The Ethernet module incorporates receive filters which
can be used to discard or accept packets with
Multicast, Broadcast and/or Unicast destination
addresses. When transmitting packets, the application
is responsible for writing the desired destination
address into the transmit buffer.
19.5.1.3
Source Address
The source address field is a 6-byte field filled with the

MAC address of the node which created the Ethernet
packet. Users of the Ethernet module must generate a
unique MAC address for each and every
microcontroller used.
MAC addresses consist of two portions. The first three
bytes are known as the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI). OUIs are distributed by the IEEE. The last
three bytes are address bytes at the discretion of the
company that purchased the OUI.
When transmitting packets, the assigned source MAC
address must be written into the transmit buffer by the
application. The module will not automatically transmit
the contents of the MAADR registers which are used
for the Unicast receive filter.
19.5.1.4
Type/Length
The type/length field is a 2-byte field which defines

which protocol the following packet data belongs to.
Alternately, if the field is filled with the contents of
05DCh (1500) or any smaller number, the field is
considered a length field, and it specifies the amount of
non-padding data which follows in the data field. Users
implementing proprietary networks may choose to treat
this field as a length field, while applications
implementing protocols, such as the Internet Protocol
(IP) or Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), should
program this field with the appropriate type defined by
the protocols specification when transmitting packets.
DS39762F-page 248
19.5.1.5
Data
The data field is a variable length field anywhere from

0 to 1500 bytes. Larger data packets will violate Ethernet
standards and will be dropped by most Ethernet nodes.
The Ethernet module, however, is capable of transmitting and receiving larger packets when the Huge Frame
Enable bit, HFRMEN, is set (MACON3<2> = 1).
19.5.1.6
Padding
The padding field is a variable length field added to

meet IEEE 802.3 specification requirements when
small data payloads are used. The destination, source,
type, data and padding of an Ethernet packet must be
no smaller than 60 bytes. Adding the required 4-byte
CRC field, packets must be no smaller than 64 bytes. If
the data field is less than 46 bytes long, a padding field
is required.
When transmitting packets, the Ethernet module automatically generates zero-padding if the PADCFG<2:0>
bits (MACON3<7:5>) are configured for this. Otherwise,
the user application will need to add any padding to the
packet before transmitting it. The module will not prevent
the transmission of undersized packets should the
application command such an action.
When receiving packets, the module automatically
rejects packets which are less than 18 bytes. All packets, 18 bytes and larger, will be subject to the standard
receive filtering criteria and may be accepted as normal
traffic. Since the module only rejects packets smaller
than 18 bytes, it is important that the firmware check
the length of every received packet and reject packets
which are smaller than 64 bytes to meet IEEE 802.3
specification requirements.
19.5.1.7
CRC
The CRC field is a 4-byte field which contains an industry

standard, 32-bit CRC, calculated with the data from the
destination, source, type, data and padding fields. It provides a way of detecting corrupted Ethernet frames, as
well as junk data fragments resulting from packet
collisions or another hosts aborted transmissions.
When receiving packets, the Ethernet module will check
the CRC of each incoming packet. If the CRCEN bit is
set, packets with invalid CRCs will automatically be discarded. If CRCEN is clear and the packet meets all other
receive filtering criteria, the packet will be written into the
receive buffer and the application will be able to determine if the CRC was valid by reading the receive status
vector (see Section 19.5.3 Receiving Packets).
When transmitting packets, the module automatically
generates a valid CRC and transmits it if the
PADCFG<2:0> bits are configured for this. Otherwise,
the user application must generate the CRC and place
it in the transmit buffer. Given the complexity of calculating a CRC, it is highly recommended to allow the
module to automatically calculate and include the CRC.
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
19.5.2
TRANSMITTING PACKETS
The Ethernet modules MAC will automatically

generate the preamble and Start-of-Frame (SOF)
delimiter fields when transmitting. Additionally, the
MAC can generate any padding (if needed) and the
CRC if configured to do so. The application must
generate and write all other frame fields into the buffer
memory for transmission.
FIGURE 19-9:
In addition, the Ethernet module requires a single

per-packet control byte to precede the packet for transmission. The control byte is organized as shown in
Figure 19-9. Before transmitting packets, the MAC
registers, which alter the transmission characteristics,
should be initialized as documented in Section 19.4
Module Initialization.

An example of how the entire assembled transmit
packet looks in memory is shown in Figure 19-10. To
construct and transmit a packet in this fashion:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Set the ETXST Pointers to an appropriate

unused location in the buffer. This will be the
location of the per-packet control byte. In the
example, it would be 0120h. It is recommended
that an even address be used for the ETXST
Pointers.
Using EDATA and the EWRPT registers,
sequentially write the packet data to the Ethernet buffer. In order, write the data for the
per-packet control byte, the destination address,
the source MAC address, the type/length and
the data payload.
Set the ETXND Pointers to point to the last byte
in the data payload. In the example, it would be
programmed to 0156h.
Clear the TXIF flag bit (EIR<3>), and set the
TXIE (EIE<3>) and ETHIE bits to enable an
interrupt when done (if desired).
Start the transmission process by setting the
TXRTS bit (ECON1<3>).
If a DMA operation was in progress while the TXRTS bit

was set, the module will wait until the DMA operation is
complete before attempting to transmit the packet. This
possible delay is required because the DMA and
FIGURE 19-10:
While the transmission is in progress, the ETXST and

ETXND Pointers should not be modified. If it is
necessary to cancel the transmission, clear the TXRTS
bit.
When the packet is finished transmitting, or was
aborted due to an error/cancellation, several things
occur:
The TXRTS bit is cleared.
A 7-byte transmit status vector is written to the
buffer at the location pointed to by the ETXND
Pointers + 1.
The TXIF flag is set.
An interrupt will be generated (if enabled).
The ETXST and ETXND Pointers will not be
modified.
To check if the packet was successfully transmitted,
read the TXABRT bit. If it has been set, poll the BUFER
bit in addition to the various fields in the transmit status
vector to determine the cause. The transmit status
vector is organized as shown in Table 19-4. Multi-byte
fields are written in little-endian format.

RECEIVING PACKETS
Assuming that the receive buffer has been initialized,

the MAC has been properly configured and the receive
filters have been configured, the application should
perform these steps to receive Ethernet packets:
1.
2.
3.
Set the PKTIE and ETHIE bits to generate an

Ethernet interrupt whenever a packet is received
(if desired).
Clear the RXERIF flag and set both RXERIE
and ETHIE to generate an interrupt whenever a
packet is dropped, due to insufficient buffer
space or memory access bandwidth (if desired).
Enable reception by setting the RXEN bit
(ECON1<2>).
After setting RXEN, the Duplex mode and the Receive

Buffer Start and End Pointers should not be modified.
Additionally, to prevent unexpected packets from arriving, it is recommended that RXEN be cleared before
altering the receive filter configuration (ERXFCON) and
MAC address.
After reception is enabled, packets which are not
filtered out will be written into the circular receive buffer.
Any packet which does not meet the necessary filter

Figure 19-11 shows the layout of a received packet.

The packets are preceded by a 6-byte header which
contains a Next Packet Pointer in addition to a receive
status vector which contains receive statistics,
including the packets size. The receive status vectors
are shown in Table 19-5.
If the last byte in the packet ends on an odd value
address, the hardware will automatically add a padding
byte when advancing the Hardware Write Pointer. As
such, all packets will start on an even boundary.

Indicates that at some time since the last receive, a carrier event was
detected. The carrier event is not associated with this packet. A carrier
event is activity on the receive channel that does not result in a packet
receive attempt being made.
Reading Received Packets
To process the packet, an application will normally start

reading from the beginning of the Next Packet Pointer.
The application will save the Next Packet Pointer, any
necessary bytes from the receive status vector, and
then proceed to read the actual packet contents. If the
AUTOINC bit is set, it will be able to sequentially read
the entire packet without ever modifying the ERDPT
registers. The Read Pointer would automatically wrap
at the end of the circular receive buffer to the beginning.
EQUATION 19-1:
In the event that the application needed to randomly

access the packet, it would be necessary to manually
calculate the proper ERDPT registers, taking care to
not exceed the end of the receive buffer if the packet
spans the ERXND to ERXST buffer boundary. In other
words, given the packet start address and a desired
offset, the application should follow the logic shown in
Equation 19-1.
RANDOM ACCESS ADDRESS CALCULATION
If Packet Start Address + Offset > ERXND, then

ERDPT = Packet Start Address + Offset (ERXND ERXST + 1)
else:
ERDPT = Packet Start Address + Offset
DS39762F-page 253
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
19.5.3.3
Freeing Receive Buffer Space
After the user application has processed a packet (or

part of the packet) and needs to free the occupied buffer space used by the processed data, it must advance
the Receive Buffer Read Pointer pair, ERXRDPT. The
module always writes up to, but not over, the memory
pointed to by the ERXRDPT registers. If an attempt to
overwrite the Receive Buffer Read Pointer location
occurs, the packet in progress is aborted, the RXERIF
flag is set and an interrupt is generated (if enabled). In
this manner, the hardware will never overwrite
unprocessed packets. Normally, the ERXRDPT pair is
advanced close to a value pointed to by the Next
Packet Pointer, which precedes the receive status
vector for the current packet.
Because only one pointer is available to control buffer

area ownership, the application must process packets in
the order they are received. If a packet is to be saved
and processed later, the application should copy the
packet to an unused location in memory. This can be
done efficiently using the integrated DMA controller (see
Section 19.9 Direct Memory Access Controller).
19.5.3.4
At any time the application needs to know how much

receive buffer space is remaining, it should read the
Hardware Write Pointers (ERXWRPT registers) and
compare it with the ERXRDPT registers. Combined
with the known size of the receive buffer, the free space
can be derived.
The Receive Buffer Read Pointer Low Byte

(ERXRDPTL register) is internally buffered to prevent
the pointer from moving when only one byte is updated.
To move the ERXRDPT pair, the application must write
to ERXRDPTL first. The write will update the internal
buffer but will not affect the register. When the application writes to ERXRDPTH, the internally buffered low
byte will be loaded into the ERXRDPTL register at the
same time. The ERXRDPT bytes can be read in any
order. When they are read, the actual value of the
registers will be returned. As a result, the buffered low
byte is not readable.
In addition to advancing the Receive Buffer Read
Pointer, after each packet is fully processed, the application must set the PKTDEC bit (ECON2<6>). This
causes the EPKTCNT register to decrement by 1. After
decrementing, if EPKTCNT is 0, the PKTIF flag bit is
automatically cleared. Otherwise, it remains set, indicating that additional packets are in the receive buffer
and are waiting to be processed. Attempting to decrement EPKTCNT below 0 does not cause an underflow
to 255, but may cause an unintentional interrupt. The
application should avoid decrementing EPKTCNT in
this situation.
Additionally, if the EPKTCNT register ever maximizes
at 255, all new packets which are received will be
aborted, even if buffer space is available. To indicate
the error, the RXERIF is set and an interrupt is
generated (if enabled). To prevent this condition, the
user application must properly decrement the counter
whenever a packet is processed.
EQUATION 19-2:
Receive Buffer Free Space
Note:
The ERXWRPT registers only update

when a packet has been successfully
received. If the application reads it just
before another packet is to be successfully completed, the value returned could
be stale and off by the maximum frame
length permitted (MAMXFLH:MAMXFLL)
plus 8. Furthermore, as the application
reads one byte of the ERXWRPT registers, a new packet may arrive and update
the 13-bit pointer before the application
has an opportunity to read the other byte
of the ERXWRPT registers.
When reading the ERXWRPT registers with the receive

hardware enabled, special care must be taken to ensure
the low and high bytes are read as a matching set.
To be assured that a matching set is obtained:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Read the EPKTCNT register and save its

contents.
Read ERXWRPTL and ERXWRPTH.
Read the EPKTCNT register again.
Compare the two packet counts. If they are not
the same, go back to Step 2.
With the Hardware Write Pointers obtained, the free

space can be calculated as shown in Equation 19-2.
The hardware prohibits moving the Write Pointer to the
same value occupied by the ERXRDPT registers, so at
least one byte will always go unused in the buffer. The
Equation 19-2 calculation reflects the lost byte.
RECEIVE BUFFER FREE SPACE CALCULATION
If ERXWRPT > ERXRDPT, then

Free Space = (ERXND ERXST) (ERXWRPT ERXRDPT)
else:
if ERXWRPT = ERXRDPT, then
Free Space = (ERXND ERXST)
else:
Free Space = ERXRDPT ERXWRPT 1

Duplex Mode Configuration and

Negotiation
The Ethernet module does not support Automatic

Duplex mode negotiation. If it is connected to an automatic duplex negotiation-enabled network switch or
Ethernet controller, the module will be detected as a
half-duplex device. To communicate in full duplex, the
module and the remote node (switch, router or Ethernet
controller) must be manually configured for full-duplex
operation.
19.6.1
HALF-DUPLEX OPERATION
The Ethernet module operates in Half-Duplex mode

when the FULDPX (MACON3<0>) and PDPXMD
(PHCON1<8>) bits are cleared (= 0). If only one of
these two bits is set, the module will be in an indeterminate state and not function correctly. Since switching
between Full and Half-Duplex modes may result in this
indeterminate state, it is recommended that the application not transmit any packets (maintain the TXRTS
bit clear), and disable packet reception (maintain the
RXEN bit clear) during this period.
In Half-Duplex mode, only one Ethernet controller may
be transmitting on the physical medium at any time. If
the application requests a packet to be transmitted by
setting the TXRTS bit while another Ethernet controller
is already transmitting, the Ethernet module will delay,
waiting for the remote transmitter to stop. When it
stops, the module will attempt to transmit its packet.
Should another Ethernet controller start transmitting at
approximately the same time, the data on the wire will
become corrupt and a collision will occur.
The hardware will handle this condition in one of two
ways. If the collision occurs before 64 bytes have been
transmitted, the following events occur:
1.
2.
3.
4.
If the number of retransmission attempts reaches 15 and

another collision occurs, the packet is aborted and the
TXRTS bit is cleared. The application will then be
responsible for taking appropriate action. The application will be able to determine that the packet was aborted
instead of being successfully transmitted by reading the
TXABRT flag. For more information, see Section 19.5.2
Transmitting Packets.
If the collision occurs after 64 bytes have already been
transmitted, the packet is immediately aborted without
any retransmission attempts. Ordinarily, in IEEE 802.3
compliant networks which are properly configured, this
late collision will not occur. User intervention may be
required to correct the issue. This problem may occur
as a result of a full-duplex node attempting to transmit
on the half-duplex medium. Alternately, the module
may be attempting to operate in Half-Duplex mode
while it may be connected to a full-duplex network.
Excessively long cabling and network size may also be
a possible cause of late collisions.
19.6.2
FULL-DUPLEX OPERATION
The Ethernet module operates in Full-Duplex mode

when the FULDPX (MACON3<0>) and PDPXMD
(PHCON1<8>) bits are both set (= 1). If only one of
these two bits is clear, the module will be in an indeterminate state and not function correctly. Again, since
switching between Full and Half-Duplex modes may
result in this indeterminate state, it is recommended
that the application not transmit any packets and
should disable packet reception during this period.
In Full-Duplex mode, packets will be transmitted while
simultaneously packets may be received. Given this, it
is impossible to cause any collisions when transmitting
packets.
The TXRTS bit remains set

The transmit error interrupt does not occur
A random exponential backoff delay elapses, as
defined by the IEEE 802.3 specification
A new attempt to transmit the packet from the
beginning occurs. The application does not
need to intervene.
DS39762F-page 256
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
19.7
Flow Control
The Ethernet module implements hardware flow control for both Full and Half-Duplex modes. The operation
of this feature differs depending on which mode is
being used.
19.7.1
HALF-DUPLEX MODE
In Half-Duplex mode, setting the FCEN0 bit

(EFLOCON<0>) causes flow control to be enabled.
When FCEN0 is set, a continuous preamble pattern of
alternating 1s and 0s (55h) will automatically be
transmitted on the Ethernet medium. Any connected
nodes will see the transmission and either not transmit
anything, waiting for the transmission to end, or will
attempt to transmit and immediately cause a collision.
Because a collision will always occur, no nodes on the
network will be able to communicate with each other
and no new packets will arrive.
When the application causes the module to transmit a
packet by setting the TXRTS bit, the preamble pattern
will stop being transmitted. An inter-packet delay will
pass as configured by register, MABBIPG, and then the
module will attempt to transmit its packet. After the
inter-packet delay, other nodes may begin to transmit.
Because all traffic was jammed previously, several
nodes may begin transmitting and a series of collisions
may occur. When the module successfully finishes
transmitting its packet or aborts it, the transmission of
the preamble pattern will automatically restart. When
the application wishes to no longer jam the network, it
should clear the FCEN0 bit. The preamble transmission will cease and normal network operation will
resume.
used to initialize an internal timer. The timer will automatically decrement every 512 bit times, or 51.2 s.
While the timer is counting down, reception of packets
is still enabled. If new pause frames arrive, the timer will
be re-initialized with the new pause timer value. When
the timer reaches zero, or was sent a frame with a zero
pause timer value, the MAC that received the pause
frame will resume transmitting any pending packets. To
prevent a pause frame from stopping all traffic on the
entire network, Ethernet switches and routers do not
propagate pause control frames in Full-Duplex mode.
The pause operation only applies to the direct recipient.
A sample network is shown in Figure 19-12. If
Computer A were to be transmitting too much data to
the microcontroller-based application in Full-Duplex
mode, the Ethernet module could transmit a pause
control frame to stop the data which is being sent to it.
The Ethernet switch would take the pause frame and
stop sending data to the application. If Computer A
continues to send data, the Ethernet switch will buffer
the data so it can be transmitted later when its pause
timer expires. If the Ethernet switch begins to run out of
buffer space, it will likely transmit a pause control frame
of its own to Computer A.
If, for some reason the Ethernet switch does not generate a pause control frame of its own, or one of the
nodes does not properly handle the pause frame it
receives, then packets will inevitably be dropped. In
any event, any communication between Computer A
and Computer B will always be completely unaffected.
FIGURE 19-12:
SAMPLE FULL-DUPLEX
NETWORK
Given the detrimental network effects that are possible

and lack of effectiveness, it is not recommended that
half-duplex flow control be used unless the application
will be in a closed network environment with proper
testing.
19.7.2
FULL-DUPLEX MODE
In Full-Duplex mode (MACON3<0> = 1), hardware flow

control is implemented by means of transmitting pause
control frames, as defined by the IEEE 802.3 specification. Pause control frames are 64-byte frames consisting
of the reserved Multicast destination address of
01-80-C2-00-00-01, the source address of the sender, a
special pause opcode, a 2-byte pause timer value and
padding/CRC.
Normally, when a pause control frame is received by a
MAC, the MAC will finish the packet it is transmitting
and then stop transmitting any new frames. The pause
timer value will be extracted from the control frame and
DS39762F-page 257
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
To enable flow control in Full-Duplex mode, set the
TXPAUS and RXPAUS bits in the MACON1 register.
Then, at any time that the receiver buffer is running out
of space, set the Flow Control Enable bits, FCEN<1:0>
(EFLOCON<1:0>). The module will automatically finish
transmitting anything that was in progress and then
send a valid pause frame, loaded with the selected
pause timer value. Depending on the mode selected,
the application may need to eventually clear Flow
Control mode by again writing to the FCEN bits.
When the RXPAUS bit is set and a valid pause frame

arrives with a non-zero pause timer value, the module
will automatically inhibit transmissions. If the TXRTS bit
becomes set to send a packet, the hardware will simply
wait until the pause timer expires before attempting to
send the packet and subsequently, clearing the TXRTS
bit. Normally, this is transparent to the microcontroller,
and it will never know that a pause frame had been
received. Should it be desirable to know when the MAC
is paused or not, the user should set the PASSALL bit
(MACON1<1>), then manually interpret the pause
control frames which may arrive.

Receive Filters
19.8.4
HASH TABLE FILTER
To minimize microcontroller processing overhead, the

Ethernet module incorporates a range of different
receive filters which can automatically reject packets
which are not needed. Six different types of packet
filters are implemented:
The Hash Table receive filter is typically used to receive

traffic sent to a specific Multicast group address.
Because it checks the specific destination address of
packets, it is capable of filtering out more unwanted
packets than the Multicast filter.
The filter performs a 32-bit CRC over the six destination

address bytes in the packet, using the polynomial,
4C11DB7h. From the resulting 32-bit binary number, a
6-bit value is derived from bits<28:23>. This value, in
turn, points to a location in a table formed by the Ethernet Hash Table registers, ETH0 through ETH7. If the bit
in that location is set, the packet meets the Hash Table
filter criteria and is accepted. The specific pointer values
for each bit location in the table are shown in Table 19-9.
Unicast
Multicast
Broadcast
Pattern Match
Magic Packet
Hash Table
The individual filters are all configured by the ERXFCON

register (Register 19-20). More than one filter can be
active at any given time. Additionally, the filters can be
configured by the ANDOR bit to either logically AND or
logically OR the tests of several filters. In other words,
the filters may be set so that only packets accepted by
all active filters are accepted, or a packet accepted by
any one filter is accepted. The flowcharts in Figure 19-13
and Figure 19-14 show the effect that each of the filters
will have, depending on the setting of ANDOR.
The device can enter Promiscuous mode and receive
all legal packets by setting the ERXFCON register to
20h (enabling only the CRC filter for valid packets). The
proper setting of the register will depend on the
application requirements.
19.8.1
UNICAST FILTER
The Unicast receive filter checks the destination

address of all incoming packets. If the destination
address exactly matches the contents of the MAADR
registers, the packet meets the Unicast filter criteria.
19.8.2
MULTICAST FILTER
The Multicast receive filter checks the destination

address of all incoming packets. If the Least Significant
bit of the first byte of the destination address is set, the
packet meets the Multicast filter criteria.
19.8.3
BROADCAST FILTER
The Broadcast receive filter checks the destination

address of all incoming packets. If the destination
address is FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF, the packet meets the
Broadcast filter criteria.
An example of the Hash Table operation is shown in

Example 19-1. In this case, the destination address,
01-00-00-00-01-2C, produces a Table Pointer value of
34h, which points to bit 4 of ETH6. If this bit is 1, the
packet will be accepted.
By extension, clearing every bit in the Hash Table
registers means that the filter criteria will never be met.
Similarly, if every bit in the Hash Table is set, the filter
criteria will always be met.

19.8.5
PATTERN MATCH FILTER
The Pattern Match Checksum registers should be

programmed to the checksum which is expected for the
selected bytes. The checksum is calculated in the
same manner that the DMA module calculates
checksums (see Section 19.9.2 Checksum Calculations). Data bytes which have corresponding mask
bits programmed to 0 are completely removed for
purposes of calculating the checksum, as opposed to
treating the data bytes as zero.
The Pattern Match filter selects up to 64 bytes from the

incoming packet and calculates an IP checksum of the
bytes. The checksum is then compared to the EPMCS
registers. The packet meets the Pattern Match filter criteria if the calculated checksum matches the EPMCS
registers. The Pattern Match filter may be useful for
filtering packets which have expected data inside them.
To use the Pattern Match filter, the application must
program the Pattern Match offset (EPMOH:EPMOL),
all of the Pattern Match mask bytes (EPMM0:EPMM7)
and the Pattern Match Checksum register pair
(EPMCSH:EPMCSL). The Pattern Match offset should
be loaded with the offset from the beginning of the destination address field to the 64-byte window which will
be used for the checksum computation. Within the
64-byte window, each individual byte can be selectively
included or excluded from the checksum computation
by setting or clearing the respective bit in the Pattern
Match mask. If a packet is received which would cause
the 64-byte window to extend past the end of the CRC,
the filter criteria will immediately not be met, even if the
corresponding mask bits are all 0.
Note:
As an example, if the application wished to filter all

packets having a particular source MAC address of
00-04-A3-FF-FF-FF, it could program the Pattern
Match offset to 0000h and then set bits 6 and 7 of
EPMM0 and bits 0, 1, 2 and 3 of EPMM1 (assuming all
other mask bits are 0). The proper checksum to program into the EPMCS registers would be 5BFCh. As an
alternative configuration, it could program the offset to
0006h and set bits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of EPMM0. The
checksum would still be 5BFCh. However, the second
case would be less desirable as packets less than
70 bytes long could never meet the Pattern Match criteria, even if they would generate the proper checksum
given the mask configuration.
Another example of a Pattern Match filter is illustrated
in Figure 19-15.
In all cases, the value of the Pattern Match

offset must be even for proper operation.
Programming the EMPO register pair with
an odd value will cause unpredictable
results.

MAGIC PACKET FILTER
The Magic Packet pattern consists of a sync pattern of

6 FFh bytes, followed by 16 repeats of the destination
address (Figure 19-16). The Magic Packet filter checks
the destination address and data fields of all incoming
packets. If the destination address matches the
MAADR registers and the data field holds a valid Magic
Packet pattern someplace within it, then the packet will
meet the Magic Packet filter criteria.

Direct Memory Access Controller
The Ethernet module incorporates a dual purpose DMA

controller, which can be used to copy data between locations within the 8-Kbyte memory buffer. It can also be
used to calculate a 16-bit checksum which is compatible
with various industry standard communication protocols,
including TCP, UDP, IP, ICMP, etc.
The DMA is controlled using three pointers and several
status/control bits:
EDMASTH:EDMASTL: Source Start Address
EDMANDH:EDMANDL: Source End Address
EDMADSTH:EDMADSTL: Destination Start
Address
DMAST and CSUMEN (ECON1<5,4>): DMA
Start/Busy and Checksum Enable bits
DMAIE and DMAIF (EIE<5> and EIR<5>): DMA
Interrupt Enable and Flag bits
The Source and End Pointers define what data will be
copied or checksumed. The Destination Pointer, used
only when copying data, defines where copied data will
be placed. All three pointers are with respect to the
8-Kbyte Ethernet memory and cannot be used to
access memory in the PIC microcontroller data
memory space.
When a DMA operation begins, the EDMAST register
pair is copied into an Internal Source Pointer. The DMA
will execute on one byte at a time and then increment the
Internal Source Pointer. However, if a byte is processed
and the Internal Source Pointer is equal to the Receive
Buffer End Pointer pair, ERXND, the Source Pointer will
not be incremented. Instead, the Internal Source Pointer
will be loaded with the Receive Buffer Start Pointer pair,
ERXST. In this way, the DMA will follow the circular FIFO
structure of the receive buffer and received packets can
be processed using one operation. The DMA operation
will end when the Internal Source Pointer matches the
EDMAND Pointers.
While any DMA operation is in progress, the DMA Pointers and the CSUMEN bit (ECON1<4>) should not be
modified. The DMA operation can be canceled at any
time by clearing the DMAST bit (ECON1<5>). No registers will change; however, some memory bytes may
already have been copied if a DMA copy was in progress.
Some operational requirements must always be kept in
mind when using the DMA. Failure to observe these
requirements may result in a loss of Ethernet buffer
data, or even complete failure of Ethernet operation:
If the EDMAND Pointers cannot be reached
because of the receive buffer wrapping behavior,
the DMA operation will never end.
By design, the DMA module cannot be used to
copy or calculate a checksum over only one byte
(EDMAST = EDMAND). An attempt to do so may
overwrite all memory in the buffer and never end.
After termination of a DMA operation (DMAST is

cleared by hardware or firmware), the application
must not set DMAST again within 4 instruction
cycles.
To ensure reliable operation, avoid having the
application access EDATA during a DMA copy
operation. EDATA may be safely accessed during
DMA checksum operations.
19.9.1
COPYING MEMORY
To copy memory within the buffer:

1. Program the EDMAST, EDMAND and EDMADST
register pairs with the appropriate start, end and
destination addresses. The EDMAST registers
should point to the first byte to copy from, the
EDMAND registers should point to the last byte to
copy and the EDMADST registers should point to
the first byte in the destination range. The destination range will always be linear, never wrapping at
any values except from 8191 to 0 (the 8-Kbyte
memory boundary). Extreme care should be
taken when calculating the End Pointer to prevent
a never ending DMA operation which would
overwrite the entire 8-Kbyte buffer.
2. If desired, set the DMAIE (EIE<5>) and ETHIE
(PIE2<5>) bits, and clear the DMAIF (EIR<5>)
flag bit to enable an interrupt at the end of the
copy process.
3. Clear the CSUMEN (ECON1<4>) bit.
4. Start the DMA copy by setting the DMAST
(ECON1<5>) bit.
If a transmit operation is in progress (TXRTS bit is set)
while the DMAST bit is set, the module will wait until the
transmit operation is complete before attempting to do
the DMA copy. This possible delay is required because
the DMA and transmission engine are unable to access
the buffer at the same time.
When the copy is complete, the DMA hardware will
clear the DMAST bit, set the DMAIF bit and generate
an interrupt (if enabled). The pointers and the
EDMACS registers will not be modified.
After the DMA module has been initialized and has
begun its copy, one instruction cycle (TCY) will be
required for each byte copied. However, if the Ethernet
receive hardware accumulates one byte of data, the
DMA will stall that cycle, yielding to the higher priority
operation. If a maximum size, 1518-byte packet was
copied while no other memory bandwidth was being
used, the DMA module would require slightly more than
145.7 s to complete at a core frequency of 41.667
MHz. The time required to copy a minimum size packet
of 64 bytes would be approximately 6.2 s (at
41.667 MHz), plus register configuration time.

PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
19.9.2
CHECKSUM CALCULATIONS
When the checksum is finished being calculated, the

hardware will clear the DMAST bit, set the DMAIF bit
and an interrupt will be generated, if enabled. The DMA
Pointers will not be modified and no memory will be
written to. The EDMACSH and EDMACSL registers will
contain the calculated checksum. The application may
write this value into a packet, compare this value with
zero (to validate a received block of data containing a
checksum field in it), or compare it with some other
checksum, such as a pseudo header checksum used in
various protocols (TCP, UDP, etc.).
The checksum calculation logic treats the source data

as a series of 16-bit big-endian integers. If the source
range contains an odd number of bytes, a padding byte
of 00h is effectively added to the end of the series for
purposes of calculating the checksum.
The calculated checksum is the 16-bit, ones
complement of the ones complement sum of all 16-bit
integers. For example, if the bytes included in the
checksum were {89h, ABh, CDh}, the checksum would
begin by computing: 89ABh + CD00h. A carry out of the
16th bit would occur in the example, so in 16-bit ones
complement arithmetic, it would be added back to the
first bit. The resulting value of 56ACh would finally be
complemented to achieve a checksum of A953h.
When operating the DMA in Checksum mode, it takes

one instruction cycle (TCY) for every byte included in
the checksum. As a result, if a checksum over
1446 bytes was performed, the DMA module would
require slightly more than 138.8 s to complete the
operation at 41.667 MHz.
To calculate a checksum:
1.
Set the EDMAST and EDMAND register pairs to

point to the first and last bytes of buffer data to
be included in the checksum. Care should be
taken when programming these pointers to
prevent a never-ending checksum calculation
due to receive buffer wrapping.
To generate an optional interrupt when the
checksum calculation is done, set the DMAIE
(EIE<5>) and ETHIE (PIE2<5>) bits and clear
the DMAIF (EIR<5>) bit.
Start the calculation by setting the CSUMEN
(ECON1<4>) and DMAST (ECON1<5>) bits.
2.
3.
At the same frequency, a small 20-byte header field

would take approximately 1.9 s plus DMA setup time
to calculate a sum. These estimated times assume that
the Ethernet receive hardware does not need memory
access bandwidth and the CPU does not issue any
reads or writes to the EDATA register while the DMA is
computing.
Like the DMA Copy mode, the checksum operation will
not start until the TXRTS bit (ECON1<3>) is clear. This
may considerably increase the checksum calculation
time if the application transmits a large packet and
immediately attempts to validate a checksum on a
received packet.

buffer management and host interface, are not affected
by a Transmit Only Reset event. To return to normal
operation, the TXRST bit must be cleared in software.
After clearing TXRST, firmware must not write to any

MASTER SYNCHRONOUS
SERIAL PORT (MSSP)
MODULE
Master SSP (MSSP) Module
Overview
The Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) module is

a serial interface, useful for communicating with other
peripheral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral
devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers,
display drivers, A/D Converters, etc. The MSSP module can operate in one of two modes:
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)
- Full Master mode
- Slave mode (with general address call)
2
The I C interface supports the following modes in

hardware:
Master mode
Multi-Master mode
Slave mode
20.3
SPI Mode
The SPI mode allows 8 bits of data to be synchronously

transmitted and received simultaneously. All four
modes of SPI are supported. To accomplish
communication, typically three pins are used:
Serial Data Out (SDOx) RC5/SDO1 (or
RD4/SDO2 for 100-pin devices)
Serial Data In (SDIx) RC4/SDI1/SDA1 (or
RD5/SDI2/SDA2 for 100-pin devices)
Serial Clock (SCKx) RC3/SCK1/SCL1 (or
RD6/SCK2/SCL2 for 100-pin devices)
Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave
mode of operation:
Slave Select (SSx) RF7/SS1 (or RD7/SS2 for
100-pin devices)
Figure 20-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSP
module when operating in SPI mode.
FIGURE 20-1:
Internal
Data Bus
The 64-pin and 80-pin devices of the PIC18F97J60

family have one MSSP module, designated as MSSP1.
The 100-pin devices have two MSSP modules, designated as MSSP1 and MSSP2. Each module operates
independently of the other.
Note:
20.2
Throughout this section, generic references to an MSSP module in any of its

operating modes may be interpreted as
being equally applicable to MSSP1 or
MSSP2. Register names and module I/O

REGISTERS
SSPxSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or

out. SSPxBUF is the buffer register to which data
bytes are written to or read from.
Each MSSP module has four registers for SPI mode

operation. These are:
In receive operations, SSPxSR and SSPxBUF

together create a double-buffered receiver. When
SSPxSR receives a complete byte, it is transferred to
SSPxBUF and the SSPxIF interrupt is set.
MSSPx Control Register 1 (SSPxCON1)

MSSPx Status Register (SSPxSTAT)
Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register
(SSPxBUF)
MSSPx Shift Register (SSPxSR) Not directly
accessible
During transmission, the SSPxBUF is not

double-buffered. A write to SSPxBUF will write to both
SSPxBUF and SSPxSR.
SSPxCON1 and SSPxSTAT are the control and status

registers in SPI mode operation. The SSPxCON1
register is readable and writable. The lower 6 bits of
the SSPxSTAT are read-only. The upper two bits of the
SSPxSTAT are read/write.

DS39762F-page 271
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
20.3.2
OPERATION
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be

specified. This is done by programming the appropriate
control bits (SSPxCON1<5:0> and SSPxSTAT<7:6>).
These control bits allow the following to be specified:
Master mode (SCKx is the clock output)

Slave mode (SCKx is the clock input)
Clock Polarity (Idle state of SCKx)
Data Input Sample Phase (middle or end of data
output time)
Clock Edge (output data on rising/falling edge of
SCKx)
Clock Rate (Master mode only)
Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)
Each MSSP module consists of a transmit/receive shift
register (SSPxSR) and a buffer register (SSPxBUF).
The SSPxSR shifts the data in and out of the device,
MSb first. The SSPxBUF holds the data that was
written to the SSPxSR until the received data is ready.
Once the 8 bits of data have been received, that byte is
moved to the SSPxBUF register. Then, the Buffer Full
detect bit, BF (SSPxSTAT<0>), and the interrupt flag
bit, SSPxIF, are set. This double-buffering of the
received data (SSPxBUF) allows the next byte to start
reception before reading the data that was just
EXAMPLE 20-1:
LOOP
received. Any write to the SSPxBUF register during

transmission/reception of data will be ignored and the
Write Collision detect bit, WCOL (SSPxCON1<7>), will
be set. User software must clear the WCOL bit so that
it can be determined if the following write(s) to the
SSPxBUF register completed successfully.
When the application software is expecting to receive
valid data, the SSPxBUF should be read before the next
byte of data to transfer is written to the SSPxBUF. The
Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPxSTAT<0>), indicates when
SSPxBUF has been loaded with the received data
(transmission is complete). When the SSPxBUF is read,
the BF bit is cleared. This data may be irrelevant if the
SPI is only a transmitter. Generally, the MSSP interrupt
is used to determine when the transmission/reception
has completed. The SSPxBUF 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 20-1 shows the
loading of the SSP1BUF (SSP1SR) for data
transmission.
The SSPxSR is not directly readable or writable and
can only be accessed by addressing the SSPxBUF
register. Additionally, the SSPxSTAT register indicates
the various status conditions.

ENABLING SPI I/O
To enable the serial port, MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN

(SSPxCON1<5>), must be set. To reset or reconfigure
SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, reinitialize the
SSPxCON registers and then set the SSPEN bit. This
configures the SDIx, SDOx, SCKx and SSx pins as
serial port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port
function, some must have their data direction bits (in
the TRIS register) appropriately programmed as
follows:
SDIx is automatically controlled by the SPI module
SDOx must have TRISC<5> (or TRISD<4>) bit
cleared
SCKx (Master mode) must have TRISC<3> (or
TRISD<6>) bit cleared
SCKx (Slave mode) must have TRISC<3> (or
TRISD<6>) bit set
SSx must have TRISF<7> (or TRISD<7>) bit set
FIGURE 20-2:
Any serial port function that is not desired may be

overridden by programming the corresponding data
direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.
20.3.4
TYPICAL CONNECTION
Figure 20-2 shows a typical connection between two

microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1)
initiates the data transfer by sending the SCKx 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 the 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 dataSlave sends dummy data
Master sends dataSlave sends data
Master sends dummy dataSlave sends data

MASTER MODE
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time

because it controls the SCKx. The master determines
when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 20-2) will
broadcast data by the software protocol.
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as
soon as the SSPxBUF register is written to. If the SPI
is only going to receive, the SDOx output could be
disabled (programmed as an input). The SSPxSR
register will continue to shift in the signal present on the
SDIx pin at the programmed clock rate. As each byte is
received, it will be loaded into the SSPxBUF 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.
FIGURE 20-3:
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately

programming the CKP bit (SSPxCON1<4>). This then,
would give waveforms for SPI communication as
shown in Figure 20-3, Figure 20-5 and Figure 20-6,
where the MSB is transmitted first. In Master mode, the
SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user-programmable to be one
of the following:
FOSC/4 (or TCY)

FOSC/16 (or 4 TCY)
FOSC/64 (or 16 TCY)
Timer2 output/2
This allows a maximum data rate (at 40 MHz) of

10.00 Mbps.
Figure 20-3 shows the waveforms for Master mode.
When the CKE bit is set, the SDOx data is valid before
there is a clock edge on SCKx. The change of the input
sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The
time when the SSPxBUF is loaded with the received
data is shown.

SLAVE MODE
In Slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as

the external clock pulses appear on SCKx. When the
last bit is latched, the SSPxIF interrupt flag bit is set.
Before enabling the module in SPI Slave mode, the
clock line must match the proper Idle state. The clock
line can be observed by reading the SCKx pin. The Idle
state is determined by the CKP bit (SSPxCON1<4>).
While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by
the external clock source on the SCKx pin. This
external clock must meet the minimum high and low
times as specified in the electrical specifications.
While in Sleep mode, the slave can transmit/receive
data. When a byte is received, the device will wake-up
from Sleep.
20.3.7
SLAVE SELECT
SYNCHRONIZATION
The SSx pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The

SPI must be in Slave mode with SSx pin control
enabled (SSPxCON1<3:0> = 04h). When the SSx pin
is low, transmission and reception are enabled and the
FIGURE 20-4:
SDOx pin is driven. When the SSx pin goes high, the
SDOx 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.
Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SSx pin
control enabled (SSPxCON1<3:0> = 0100),
the SPI module will reset if the SSx pin is set
to VDD.
2: If the SPI is used in Slave mode with CKE
set, then the SSx pin control must be
enabled.
When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced
to 0. This can be done by either forcing the SSx pin to
a high level or clearing the SSPEN bit.
To emulate two-wire communication, the SDOx pin can
be connected to the SDIx pin. When the SPI needs to
operate as a receiver, the SDOx pin can be configured
as an input. This disables transmissions from the
SDOx. The SDIx can always be left as an input (SDIx
function) since it cannot create a bus conflict.

20.3.8
OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED
MODES
In SPI Master mode, module clocks may be operating

at a different speed than when in full-power mode. In
the case of Sleep mode, all clocks are halted.
In Idle modes, a clock is provided to the peripherals.
That clock should be from the primary clock source, the
secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator at 32.768 kHz) or
the INTRC source. See Section 3.7 Clock Sources
and Oscillator Switching for additional information.
20.3.10
Table 20-1 shows the compatibility between the

standard SPI modes and the states of the CKP and
CKE control bits.
TABLE 20-1:
If the Sleep mode is selected, all module clocks are

halted and the transmission/reception will remain in
that state until the devices wakes. After the device
returns to Run mode, the module will resume
transmitting and receiving data.
In SPI Slave mode, the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift
register operates asynchronously to the device. This
allows the device to be placed in any power-managed
mode and data to be shifted into the SPI
Transmit/Receive Shift register. When all 8 bits have
been received, the MSSP interrupt flag bit will be set,
and if enabled, will wake the device.

In most cases, the speed that the master clocks SPI

data is not important; however, this should be
evaluated for each system.
If MSSP interrupts are enabled, they can wake the
controller from Sleep mode, or one of the Idle modes,
when the master completes sending data. If an exit
from Sleep or Idle mode is not desired, MSSP
interrupts should be disabled.
BUS MODE COMPATIBILITY
There is also an SMP bit which controls when the data

is sampled.
20.3.11
SPI CLOCK SPEED AND MODULE

INTERACTIONS
Because MSSP1 and MSSP2 are independent

modules, they can operate simultaneously at different
data rates. Setting the SSPM<3:0> bits of the
SSPxCON1 register determines the rate for the
corresponding module.
An exception is when both modules use Timer2 as a
time base in Master mode. In this instance, any
changes to the Timer2 operation will affect both MSSP
modules equally. If different bit rates are required for
each module, the user should select one of the other
three time base options for one of the modules.
EFFECTS OF A RESET
A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the

current transfer.

I2C Mode
20.4.1
The MSSP module in I 2C mode fully implements all

master and slave functions (including general call
support) and provides interrupts on Start and Stop bits
in hardware to determine a free bus (multi-master
function). The MSSP module implements the standard
mode specifications, as well as 7-bit and 10-bit
addressing.
Two pins are used for data transfer:
Serial clock (SCLx) RC3/SCK1/SCL1
(or RD6/SCK2/SCL2 for 100-pin devices)
Serial data (SDAx) RC4/SDI1/SDA1
(or RD5/SDI2/SDA2 for 100-pin devices)
The user must configure these pins as inputs by setting
the TRISC<4:3> or TRISD<5:4> bits.

SSPxCON1, SSPxCON2 and SSPxSTAT are the
control and status registers in I2C mode operation. The
SSPxCON1 and SSPxCON2 registers are readable
and writable. The lower 6 bits of the SSPxSTAT are
read-only. The upper two bits of the SSPxSTAT are
read/write.
Many of the bits in SSPxCON2 assume different
functions, depending on whether the module is operating in Master or Slave mode. SSPxCON2<5:1> also
assume different names in Slave mode. The different
aspects of SSPxCON2 are shown in Register 20-5 (for
Master mode) and Register 20-6 (Slave mode).
The SSPxADD register holds the slave device address

when the MSSP is configured in I2C Slave mode. When
the MSSP is configured in Master mode, the lower seven
bits of SSPxADD act as the Baud Rate Generator reload
value.
In receive operations, SSPxSR and SSPxBUF together,
create a double-buffered receiver. When SSPxSR
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPxBUF
and the SSPxIF interrupt is set.

The MSSP module has six registers for I2C operation.

20.4.2
OPERATION
The MSSP module functions are enabled by setting the

MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN (SSPxCON1<5>).
The SSPxCON1 register allows control of the I 2C operation. Four mode selection bits (SSPxCON1<3:0>)
allow one of the following I 2C modes to be selected:
2
I C Master mode,
clock = (FOSC/4) x (SSPxADD + 1)
I 2C Slave mode (7-bit addressing)
I 2C Slave mode (10-bit addressing)
I 2C Slave mode (7-bit addressing) with Start and
Stop bit interrupts enabled
I 2C Slave mode (10-bit addressing) with Start and
Stop bit interrupts enabled
I 2C Firmware Controlled Master mode,
slave is Idle
Selection of any I 2C mode, with the SSPEN bit set,
forces the SCLx and SDAx pins to be open-drain,
provided these pins are programmed to inputs by
setting the appropriate TRISC or TRISD bits. To ensure
proper operation of the module, pull-up resistors must
be provided externally to the SCLx and SDAx pins.
20.4.3
SLAVE MODE
In Slave mode, the SCLx and SDAx pins must be

configured as inputs (TRISC<4:3> or TRISD<5:4> are
set). The MSSP module will override the input state
with the output data when required (slave-transmitter).
The I 2C Slave mode hardware will always generate an
interrupt on an exact address match. In addition,
address masking will also allow the hardware to generate an interrupt for more than one address (up to 31 in
7-bit addressing and up to 63 in 10-bit addressing).
Through the mode select bits, the user can also choose
to interrupt on Start and Stop bits.
The SCLx clock input must have a minimum high and

low for proper operation. The high and low times of the
I2C specification, as well as the requirement of the
MSSP module, are shown in timing Parameter 100 and
Parameter 101.
20.4.3.1
Once the MSSP module has been enabled, it waits for

a Start condition to occur. Following the Start condition,
the 8 bits are shifted into the SSPxSR register. All
incoming bits are sampled with the rising edge of the
clock (SCLx) line. The value of register SSPxSR<7:1>
is compared to the value of the SSPxADD register. The
address is compared on the falling edge of the eighth
clock (SCLx) pulse. If the addresses match and the BF
and SSPOV bits are clear, the following events occur:
1.
2.
3.
4.
1.
2.
3.
Any combination of the following conditions will cause

the MSSP module not to give this ACK pulse:
5.
The Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPxSTAT<0>), was set

before the transfer was received.
The MSSP Overflow bit, SSPOV (SSPxCON1<6>),
was set before the transfer was received.
6.
DS39762F-page 284
The SSPxSR register value is loaded into the

SSPxBUF register.
The Buffer Full bit, BF, is set.
An ACK pulse is generated.
The MSSP Interrupt Flag bit, SSPxIF, is set (and
the interrupt is generated, if enabled) on the
falling edge of the ninth SCLx pulse.
In 10-Bit Addressing mode, two address bytes need to

be received by the slave. The five Most Significant bits
(MSbs) of the first address byte specify if this is a 10-bit
address. Bit, R/W (SSPxSTAT<2>), must specify a
write so the slave device will receive the second
address byte. For a 10-bit address, the first byte would
equal 11110 A9 A8 0, where A9 and A8 are the
two MSbs of the address. The sequence of events for
10-bit addressing is as follows, with Steps 7 through 9
for the slave-transmitter:
When an address is matched, or the data transfer after

an address match is received, the hardware automatically will generate the Acknowledge (ACK) pulse
and load the SSPxBUF register with the received value
currently in the SSPxSR register.
In this case, the SSPxSR register value is not loaded

into the SSPxBUF, but bit, SSPxIF, is set. The BF bit is
cleared by reading the SSPxBUF register, while bit,
SSPOV, is cleared through software.

PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
20.4.3.2
Address Masking
Masking an address bit causes that bit to become a

dont care. When one address bit is masked, two
addresses will be Acknowledged and cause an
interrupt. It is possible to mask more than one address
bit at a time, which makes it possible to Acknowledge
up to 31 addresses in 7-bit mode, and up to
63 addresses in 10-bit mode (see Example 20-2).
The I2C Slave behaves the same way whether address
masking is used or not. However, when address
masking is used, the I2C slave can Acknowledge
multiple addresses and cause interrupts. When this
occurs, it is necessary to determine which address
caused the interrupt by checking SSPxBUF.
In 7-Bit Addressing mode, address mask bits,
ADMSK<5:1> (SSPxCON2<5:1>), mask the corresponding address bits in the SSPxADD register. For any
ADMSK bits that are set (ADMSK<n> = 1), the corresponding address bit is ignored (SSPxADD<n> = x). For
the module to issue an address Acknowledge, it is
sufficient to match only on addresses that do not have an
active address mask.
EXAMPLE 20-2:
In 10-Bit Addressing mode, bits, ADMSK<5:2>, mask

the corresponding address bits in the SSPxADD register. In addition, ADMSK1 simultaneously masks the two
LSbs of the address (SSPxADD<1:0>). For any
ADMSK bits that are active (ADMSK<n> = 1), the corresponding address bit is ignored (SSPxADD<n> = x).
Also note, that although in 10-Bit Addressing mode, the
upper address bits re-use part of the SSPxADD register bits. The address mask bits do not interact with
those bits; they only affect the lower address bits.
Note 1: ADMSK1 masks the two
Significant bits of the address.
Least
2: The two Most Significant bits of the

address are not affected by address
masking.
ADDRESS MASKING EXAMPLES
7-Bit Addressing:
SSPxADD<7:1> = A0h (1010000) (SSPxADD<0> is assumed to be 0)
ADMSK<5:1>
= 00111
Addresses Acknowledged: A0h, A2h, A4h, A6h, A8h, AAh, ACh, AEh
10-Bit Addressing:
SSPxADD<7:0> = A0h (10100000) (the two MSb of the address are ignored in this example since they are
not affected by masking)
ADMSK<5:1>
= 00111
Addresses Acknowledged: A0h, A1h, A2h, A3h, A4h, A5h, A6h, A7h, A8h, A9h, AAh, ABh, ACh, ADh, AEh, AFh
DS39762F-page 285
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
20.4.3.3
Reception
When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an

address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPxSTAT
register is cleared. The received address is loaded into
the SSPxBUF register and the SDAx line is held low
(ACK).
When the address byte overflow condition exists, then
the no Acknowledge (ACK) pulse is given. An overflow
condition is defined as either bit, BF (SSPxSTAT<0>),
is set, or bit, SSPOV (SSPxCON1<6>), is set.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The interrupt flag bit, SSPxIF, must be cleared in
software. The SSPxSTAT register is used to determine
the status of the byte.
If SEN is enabled (SSPxCON2<0> = 1), SCKx/SCLx
(RC3 or RD6) will be held low (clock stretch) following
each data transfer. The clock must be released by
setting bit, CKP (SSPxCON1<4>). See Section 20.4.4
Clock Stretching for more details.
20.4.3.4
Transmission
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set and
an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPxSTAT
register is set. The received address is loaded into the
SSPxBUF register. The ACK pulse will be sent on the
ninth bit and pin RC3 or RD6 is held low, regardless of
SEN (see Section 20.4.4 Clock Stretching for more
details). By stretching the clock, the master will be unable
to assert another clock pulse until the slave is done
preparing the transmit data. The transmit data must be
loaded into the SSPxBUF register which also loads the
SSPxSR register. Then, pin, RC3 or RD6, should be
enabled by setting bit, CKP (SSPxCON1<4>). The eight
data bits are shifted out on the falling edge of the SCLx
input. This ensures that the SDAx signal is valid during
the SCLx high time (Figure 20-10).
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on
the rising edge of the ninth SCLx input pulse. If the SDAx
line is high (not ACK), then the data transfer is complete.
In this case, when the ACK is latched by the slave, the
slave logic is reset (resets SSPxSTAT register) and the
slave monitors for another occurrence of the Start bit. If
the SDAx line was low (ACK), the next transmit data
must be loaded into the SSPxBUF register. Again, pin,
RC3 or RD6, must be enabled by setting bit, CKP.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The SSPxIF bit must be cleared in software and
the SSPxSTAT register is used to determine the status
of the byte. The SSPxIF bit is set on the falling edge of
the ninth clock pulse.

PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
20.4.4
CLOCK STRETCHING
Both 7-Bit and 10-Bit Slave modes implement

automatic clock stretching during a transmit sequence.
The SEN bit (SSPxCON2<0>) allows clock stretching
to be enabled during receives. Setting SEN will cause
the SCLx pin to be held low at the end of each data
receive sequence.
20.4.4.1
Clock Stretching for 7-Bit Slave

Receive Mode (SEN = 1)
In 7-Bit Slave Receive mode, on the falling edge of the

ninth clock at the end of the ACK sequence, if the BF
bit is set, the CKP bit in the SSPxCON1 register is
automatically cleared, forcing the SCLx output to be
held low. The CKP being cleared to 0 will assert the
SCLx line low. The CKP bit must be set in the users
ISR before reception is allowed to continue. By holding
the SCLx line low, the user has time to service the ISR
and read the contents of the SSPxBUF before the
master device can initiate another receive sequence.
This will prevent buffer overruns from occurring (see
Figure 20-15).
Note 1: If the user reads the contents of the
SSPxBUF before the falling edge of the
ninth clock, thus clearing the BF bit, the
CKP bit will not be cleared and clock
stretching will not occur.
2: The CKP bit can be set in software regardless of the state of the BF bit. The user
should be careful to clear the BF bit in the
ISR before the next receive sequence in
order to prevent an overflow condition.
20.4.4.2

Receive Mode (SEN = 1)
20.4.4.3

Transmit Mode
The 7-Bit Slave Transmit mode implements clock

stretching by clearing the CKP bit after the falling edge
of the ninth clock, if the BF bit is clear. This occurs
regardless of the state of the SEN bit.
The users ISR must set the CKP bit before
transmission is allowed to continue. By holding the
SCLx line low, the user has time to service the ISR
and load the contents of the SSPxBUF before the
master device can initiate another transmit sequence
(see Figure 20-10).
Note 1: If the user loads the contents of
SSPxBUF, setting the BF bit before the
falling edge of the ninth clock, the CKP bit
will not be cleared and clock stretching
will not occur.
2: The CKP bit can be set in software
regardless of the state of the BF bit.
20.4.4.4

Transmit Mode
In 10-Bit Slave Transmit mode, clock stretching is

controlled during the first two address sequences by
the state of the UA bit, just as it is in 10-Bit Slave
Receive mode. The first two addresses are followed
by a third address sequence which contains the
high-order bits of the 10-bit address and the R/W bit
set to 1. After the third address sequence is
performed, the UA bit is not set, the module is now
configured in Transmit mode and clock stretching is
controlled by the BF flag as in 7-Bit Slave Transmit
mode (see Figure 20-13).
In 10-Bit Slave Receive mode during the address

sequence, clock stretching automatically takes place
but CKP is not cleared. During this time, if the UA bit is
set after the ninth clock, clock stretching is initiated.
The UA bit is set after receiving the upper byte of the
10-bit address and following the receive of the second
byte of the 10-bit address with the R/W bit cleared to
0. The release of the clock line occurs upon updating
SSPxADD. Clock stretching will occur on each data
receive sequence as described in 7-bit mode.
Note:
If the user polls the UA bit and clears it by

updating the SSPxADD register before the
falling edge of the ninth clock occurs and if
the user hasnt cleared the BF bit by reading the SSPxBUF register before that time,
then the CKP bit will still NOT be asserted
low. Clock stretching on the basis of the
state of the BF bit only occurs during a
data sequence, not an address sequence.
DS39762F-page 293
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
20.4.4.5
Clock Synchronization and

the CKP bit
When the CKP bit is cleared, the SCLx output is forced

to 0. However, clearing the CKP bit will not assert the
SCLx output low until the SCLx output is already
sampled low. Therefore, the CKP bit will not assert the
SCLx line until an external I2C master device has
FIGURE 20-14:
already asserted the SCLx line. The SCLx output will

remain low until the CKP bit is set and all other
devices on the I2C bus have deasserted SCLx. This
ensures that a write to the CKP bit will not violate the
minimum high time requirement for SCLx (see
Figure 20-14).

GENERAL CALL ADDRESS

SUPPORT
If the general call address matches, the SSPxSR is

transferred to the SSPxBUF, the BF flag bit is set
(eighth bit) and on the falling edge of the ninth bit (ACK
bit), the SSPxIF interrupt flag bit is set.
The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that

the first byte after the Start condition usually
determines which device will be the slave addressed by
the master. The exception is the general call address,
which can address all devices. When this address is
used, all devices should, in theory, respond with an
Acknowledge.
When the interrupt is serviced, the source for the

interrupt can be checked by reading the contents of the
SSPxBUF. The value can be used to determine if the
address was device-specific or a general call address.
In 10-Bit Addressing mode, the SSPxADD is required
to be updated for the second half of the address to
match, and the UA bit is set (SSPxSTAT<1>). If the
general call address is sampled when the GCEN bit is
set, while the slave is configured in 10-Bit Addressing
mode, then the second half of the address is not necessary, the UA bit will not be set and the slave will begin
receiving data after the Acknowledge (Figure 20-17).
The general call address is one of eight addresses

reserved for specific purposes by the I2C protocol. It
consists of all 0s with R/W = 0.
The general call address is recognized when the
General Call Enable bit, GCEN, is enabled
(SSPxCON2<7> set). Following a Start bit detect, 8 bits
are shifted into the SSPxSR and the address is
compared against the SSPxADD. It is also compared to
the general call address and fixed in hardware.

MASTER MODE
Note:
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the

appropriate SSPM bits in SSPxCON1 and by setting
the SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SCLx and SDAx
lines are manipulated by the MSSP hardware.
Master mode of operation is supported by 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 MSSP module is disabled. Control
of the I 2C bus may be taken when the P bit is set, or the
bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear.
The following events will cause the MSSP Interrupt

Flag bit, SSPxIF, to be set (and MSSP interrupt, if
enabled):
In Firmware Controlled Master mode, user code

conducts all I 2C bus operations based on Start and
Stop bit conditions.
Once Master mode is enabled, the user has six

options.

of events. For instance, the user is not
allowed to initiate a Start condition and
immediately write the SSPxBUF register

condition is complete. In this case, the
SSPxBUF will not be written to and the
WCOL bit will be set, indicating that a write
to the SSPxBUF did not occur.

I2C Master Mode Operation
The master device generates all of the serial clock

pulses and the Start and Stop conditions. A transfer is
ended with a Stop condition or with a Repeated Start
condition. Since the Repeated Start condition is also
the beginning of the next serial transfer, the I2C bus will
not be released.
In Master Transmitter mode, serial data is output
through SDAx, while SCLx outputs the serial clock. The
first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the
receiving device (7 bits) and the Read/Write (R/W) bit.
In this case, the R/W bit will be logic 0. Serial data is
transmitted 8 bits at a time. After each byte is transmitted, an Acknowledge bit is received. Start and Stop
conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the
end of a serial transfer.
In Master Receive mode, the first byte transmitted
contains the slave address of the transmitting device
(7 bits) and the R/W bit. In this case, the R/W bit will be
logic 1. Thus, the first byte transmitted is a 7-bit slave
address followed by a 1 to indicate the receive bit.
Serial data is received via SDAx, while SCLx outputs
the serial clock. Serial data is received, 8 bits at a time.
After each byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is
transmitted. Start and Stop conditions indicate the
beginning and end of transmission.
The Baud Rate Generator used for the SPI mode
operation is used to set the SCLx clock frequency for
either 100 kHz, 400 kHz or 1 MHz I2C operation. See
Section 20.4.7 Baud Rate for more detail.
A typical transmit sequence would go as follows:

1.
The user generates a Start condition by setting

the Start Enable bit, SEN (SSPxCON2<0>).
2. SSPxIF is set. The MSSP module will wait the
required start time before any other operation
takes place.
3. The user loads the SSPxBUF with the slave
address to transmit.
4. Address is shifted out on the SDAx pin until all
8 bits are transmitted.
5. The MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the
slave device and writes its value into the
SSPxCON2 register (SSPxCON2<6>).
6. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the
end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the
SSPxIF bit.
7. The user loads the SSPxBUF with eight bits of
data.
8. Data is shifted out on the SDAx pin until all 8 bits
are transmitted.
9. The MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the
slave device and writes its value into the
SSPxCON2 register (SSPxCON2<6>).
10. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the
end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the
SSPxIF bit.
11. The user generates a Stop condition by setting
the Stop Enable bit, PEN (SSPxCON2<2>).
12. Interrupt is generated once the Stop condition is
complete.

PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
20.4.7
BAUD RATE
20.4.7.1
In I C Master mode, the Baud Rate Generator (BRG)

reload value is placed in the lower 7 bits of the
SSPxADD register (Figure 20-19). When a write
occurs to SSPxBUF, the Baud Rate Generator will
automatically begin counting. The BRG counts down to
0 and stops until another reload has taken place. The
BRG count is decremented twice per instruction cycle
(TCY) on the Q2 and Q4 clocks. In I2C Master mode, the
BRG is reloaded automatically.
Baud Rate and Module

Interdependence
Because MSSP1 and MSSP2 are independent, they

can operate simultaneously in I2C Master mode at
different baud rates. This is done by using different
BRG reload values for each module.
Because this mode derives its basic clock source from
the system clock, any changes to the clock will affect
both modules in the same proportion. It may be
possible to change one or both baud rates back to a
previous value by changing the BRG reload value.
Once the given operation is complete (i.e., transmission of the last data bit is followed by ACK), the internal
clock will automatically stop counting and the SCLx pin
will remain in its last state.
Table 20-3 demonstrates clock rates based on
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into
SSPxADD.

20.4.7.2
Clock Arbitration
Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any

receive, transmit or Repeated Start/Stop condition,
deasserts the SCLx pin (SCLx allowed to float high).
When the SCLx pin is allowed to float high, the Baud
Rate Generator (BRG) is suspended from counting
until the SCLx pin is actually sampled high. When the
FIGURE 20-20:
SDAx
SCLx pin is sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is

reloaded with the contents of SSPxADD<6:0> and
begins counting. This ensures that the SCLx high time
will always be at least one BRG rollover count in the
event that the clock is held low by an external device
(Figure 20-20).

CONDITION TIMING
Note:
To initiate a Start condition, the user sets the Start

Enable bit, SEN (SSPxCON2<0>). If the SDAx and
SCLx pins are sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator
is reloaded with the contents of SSPxADD<6:0> and
starts its count. If SCLx and SDAx are both sampled
high when the Baud Rate Generator times out (TBRG),
the SDAx pin is driven low. The action of the SDAx
being driven low while SCLx is high is the Start condition and causes the S bit (SSPxSTAT<3>) to be set.
Following this, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded
with the contents of SSPxADD<6:0> and resumes its
count. When the Baud Rate Generator times out
(TBRG), the SEN bit (SSPxCON2<0>) will be automatically cleared by hardware. The Baud Rate
Generator is suspended, leaving the SDAx line held
low and the Start condition is complete.

the SCLx line is sampled low before the
SDAx line is driven low, a bus collision
occurs. The Bus Collision Interrupt Flag,
BCLxIF, is set, the Start condition is
aborted and the I2C module is reset into its
Idle state.
WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a Start sequence

is in progress, the WCOL is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write doesnt occur).
Note:
Because queueing of events is not

allowed, writing to the lower 5 bits of
SSPxCON2 is disabled until the Start
condition is complete.

START CONDITION TIMING
Note 1: If RSEN is programmed while any other

event is in progress, it will not take effect.
A Repeated Start condition occurs when the RSEN bit

(SSPxCON2<1>) is programmed high and the I2C logic
module is in the Idle state. When the RSEN bit is set,
the SCLx pin is asserted low. When the SCLx pin is
sampled low, the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with
the contents of SSPxADD<6:0> and begins counting.
The SDAx pin is released (brought high) for one Baud
Rate Generator count (TBRG). When the Baud Rate
Generator times out, if SDAx is sampled high, the SCLx
pin will be deasserted (brought high). When SCLx is
sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded
with the contents of SSPxADD<6:0> and begins counting. SDAx and SCLx must be sampled high for one
TBRG. This action is then followed by assertion of the
SDAx pin (SDAx = 0) for one TBRG while SCLx is high.
Following this, the RSEN bit (SSPxCON2<1>) will be
automatically cleared and the Baud Rate Generator will
not be reloaded, leaving the SDAx pin held low. As
soon as a Start condition is detected on the SDAx and
SCLx pins, the S bit (SSPxSTAT<3>) will be set. The
SSPxIF bit will not be set until the Baud Rate Generator
has timed out.
2: A bus collision during the Repeated Start

condition occurs if:
SDAx is sampled low when SCLx
goes from low-to-high.
SCLx goes low before SDAx is
asserted low. This may indicate that
another master is attempting to
transmit a data 1.
Immediately following the SSPxIF bit getting set, the user
may write the SSPxBUF with the 7-bit address in 7-bit
mode or the default first address in 10-bit mode. After the
first eight bits are transmitted and an ACK is received, the
user may then transmit an additional eight bits of address
(10-bit mode) or eight bits of data (7-bit mode).
20.4.9.1
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a Repeated Start

sequence is in progress, the WCOL is set and the
contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesnt
occur).
Note:

TRANSMISSION
Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address or the

other half of a 10-bit address is accomplished by simply
writing a value to the SSPxBUF register. This action will
set the Buffer Full flag bit, BF, and allow the Baud Rate
Generator to begin counting and start the next transmission. Each bit of address/data will be shifted out
onto the SDAx pin after the falling edge of SCLx is
asserted (see data hold time specification
Parameter 106). SCLx is held low for one Baud Rate
Generator rollover count (TBRG). Data should be valid
before SCLx is released high (see data setup time
specification Parameter 107). When the SCLx pin is
released high, it is held that way for TBRG. The data on
the SDAx pin must remain stable for that duration and
some hold time after the next falling edge of SCLx.
After the eighth bit is shifted out (the falling edge of the
eighth clock), the BF flag is cleared and the master
releases SDAx. This allows the slave device being
addressed to respond with an ACK bit during the ninth
bit time if an address match occurred, or if data was
received properly. The status of ACK is written into the
ACKDT bit on the falling edge of the ninth clock. If the
master receives an Acknowledge, the Acknowledge
Status bit, ACKSTAT, is cleared; if not, the bit is set.
After the ninth clock, the SSPxIF bit is set and the
master clock (Baud Rate Generator) is suspended until
the next data byte is loaded into the SSPxBUF, leaving
SCLx low and SDAx unchanged (Figure 20-23).
After the write to the SSPxBUF, each bit of the address
will be shifted out on the falling edge of SCLx until all
seven address bits and the R/W bit are completed. On
the falling edge of the eighth clock, the master will
deassert the SDAx pin, allowing the slave to respond
with an Acknowledge. On the falling edge of the ninth
clock, the master will sample the SDAx pin to see if the
address was recognized by a slave. The status of the
ACK bit is loaded into the ACKSTAT status bit
(SSPxCON2<6>). Following the falling edge of the
ninth clock transmission of the address, the SSPxIF is
set, the BF flag is cleared and the Baud Rate Generator
is turned off until another write to the SSPxBUF takes
place, holding SCLx low and allowing SDAx to float.
20.4.10.1
BF Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the BF bit (SSPxSTAT<0>) is set

when the CPU writes to SSPxBUF, and is cleared when
all 8 bits are shifted out.
20.4.10.2
WCOL Status Flag
The user should verify that the WCOL is clear after

each write to SSPxBUF to ensure the transfer is
correct. In all cases, WCOL must be cleared in
software.
20.4.10.3
ACKSTAT Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit (SSPxCON2<6>)

is cleared when the slave has sent an Acknowledge
(ACK = 0) and is set when the slave does not Acknowledge (ACK = 1). A slave sends an Acknowledge when
it has recognized its address (including a general call),
or when the slave has properly received its data.
20.4.11
I2C MASTER MODE RECEPTION
Master mode reception is enabled by programming the

Receive Enable bit, RCEN (SSPxCON2<3>).
Note:
The MSSP module must be in an Idle

state before the RCEN bit is set or the
RCEN bit will be disregarded.
The Baud Rate Generator begins counting and on each

rollover. The state of the SCLx pin changes
(high-to-low/low-to-high) and data is shifted into the
SSPxSR. After the falling edge of the eighth clock, the
receive enable flag is automatically cleared, the contents of the SSPxSR are loaded into the SSPxBUF, the
BF flag bit is set, the SSPxIF flag bit is set and the Baud
Rate Generator is suspended from counting, holding
SCLx low. The MSSP is now in Idle state awaiting the
next command. When the buffer is read by the CPU,
the BF flag bit is automatically cleared. The user can
then send an Acknowledge bit at the end of reception
by setting the Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit,
ACKEN (SSPxCON2<4>).
20.4.11.1
BF Status Flag
In receive operation, the BF bit is set when an address

or data byte is loaded into SSPxBUF from SSPxSR. It
is cleared when the SSPxBUF register is read.
20.4.11.2
SSPOV Status Flag
In receive operation, the SSPOV bit is set when 8 bits

are received into the SSPxSR and the BF flag bit is
already set from a previous reception.
20.4.11.3
WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a receive is

already in progress (i.e., SSPxSR is still shifting in a
data byte), the WCOL bit is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write doesnt occur).
If the user writes to the SSPxBUF when a transmit is

already in progress (i.e., SSPxSR is still shifting out a
data byte), the WCOL is set and the contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesnt occur) after 2 TCY
after the SSPxBUF write. If SSPxBUF is rewritten
within 2 TCY, the WCOL bit is set and SSPxBUF is
updated. This may result in a corrupted transfer.

ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE
TIMING
20.4.13
A Stop bit is asserted on the SDAx pin at the end of a

receive/transmit by setting the Stop Sequence Enable
bit, PEN (SSPxCON2<2>). At the end of a
receive/transmit, the SCLx line is held low after the falling edge of the ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set, the
master will assert the SDAx line low. When the SDAx
line is sampled low, the Baud Rate Generator is
reloaded and counts down to 0. When the Baud Rate
Generator times out, the SCLx pin will be brought high
and one TBRG (Baud Rate Generator rollover count)
later, the SDAx pin will be deasserted. When the SDAx
pin is sampled high while SCLx is high, the P bit
(SSPxSTAT<4>) is set. A TBRG later, the PEN bit is
cleared and the SSPxIF bit is set (Figure 20-26).
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the

Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN
(SSPxCON2<4>). When this bit is set, the SCLx pin is
pulled low and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit
are presented on the SDAx pin. If the user wishes to
generate an Acknowledge, then the ACKDT bit should
be cleared. If not, the user should set the ACKDT bit
before starting an Acknowledge sequence. The Baud
Rate Generator then counts for one rollover period
(TBRG) and the SCLx pin is deasserted (pulled high).
When the SCLx pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),
the Baud Rate Generator counts for TBRG. The SCLx pin
is then pulled low. Following this, the ACKEN bit is automatically cleared, the Baud Rate Generator is turned off
and the MSSP module then goes into Idle mode
(Figure 20-25).

SLEEP OPERATION
20.4.17
While in Sleep mode, the I C module can receive

addresses or data and when an address match or
complete byte transfer occurs, wake the processor
from Sleep (if the MSSP interrupt is enabled).
20.4.15
EFFECTS OF A RESET
A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the

current transfer.
20.4.16
MULTI-MASTER MODE
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the

detection of the Start and Stop 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
MSSP module is disabled. Control of the I 2C bus may
be taken when the P bit (SSPxSTAT<4>) is set, or the
bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear. When the
bus is busy, enabling the MSSP interrupt will generate
the interrupt when the Stop condition occurs.
In multi-master operation, the SDAx line must be
monitored for arbitration to see if the signal level is the
expected output level. This check is performed in
hardware with the result placed in the BCLxIF bit.
The states where arbitration can be lost are:
Address Transfer
Data Transfer
A Start Condition
A Repeated Start Condition
An Acknowledge Condition
MULTI -MASTER COMMUNICATION,

BUS COLLISION AND BUS
ARBITRATION
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitration. When the master outputs address/data bits onto
the SDAx pin, arbitration takes place when the master
outputs a 1 on SDAx, by letting SDAx float high and
another master asserts a 0. When the SCLx pin floats
high, data should be stable. If the expected data on
SDAx is a 1 and the data sampled on the SDAx
pin = 0, then a bus collision has taken place. The
master will set the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLxIF
and reset the I2C port to its Idle state (Figure 20-27).
If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is
cleared, the SDAx and SCLx lines are deasserted and
the SSPxBUF can be written to. When the user services
the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine and if the I2C
bus is free, the user can resume communication by
asserting a Start condition.
If a Start, Repeated Start, Stop or Acknowledge condition
was in progress when the bus collision occurred, the
condition is aborted, the SDAx and SCLx lines are
deasserted and the respective control bits in the
SSPxCON2 register are cleared. When the user services
the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine and if the I2C
bus is free, the user can resume communication by
asserting a Start condition.
The master will continue to monitor the SDAx and SCLx
pins. If a Stop condition occurs, the SSPxIF bit will be set.
A write to the SSPxBUF will start the transmission of
data at the first data bit regardless of where the
transmitter left off when the bus collision occurred.
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of Start and Stop conditions allows the determination of when the bus is free. Control of the I2C bus
can be taken when the P bit is set in the SSPxSTAT
register, or the bus is Idle and the S and P bits are
cleared.

Bus Collision During a Start

Condition
During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:

a)
b)
SDAx or SCLx are sampled low at the beginning

of the Start condition (Figure 20-28).
SCLx is sampled low before SDAx is asserted
low (Figure 20-29).
During a Start condition, both the SDAx and the SCLx

pins are monitored.
If the SDAx pin is sampled low during this count, the

BRG is reset and the SDAx line is asserted early
(Figure 20-30). If, however, a 1 is sampled on the
SDAx pin, the SDAx pin is asserted low at the end of
the BRG count. The Baud Rate Generator is then
reloaded and counts down to 0. If the SCLx pin is
sampled as 0 during this time, a bus collision does not
occur. At the end of the BRG count, the SCLx pin is
asserted low.
Note:
If the SDAx pin is already low, or the SCLx pin is

already low, then all of the following occur:
the Start condition is aborted;
the BCLxIF flag is set; and
the MSSP module is reset to its Idle state
(Figure 20-28).
The Start condition begins with the SDAx and SCLx
pins deasserted. When the SDAx pin is sampled high,
the Baud Rate Generator is loaded from
SSPxADD<6:0> and counts down to 0. If the SCLx pin
is sampled low while SDAx is high, a bus collision
occurs, because it is assumed that another master is
attempting to drive a data 1 during the Start condition.
FIGURE 20-28:
The reason that bus collision is not a factor during a Start condition is that no two
bus masters can assert a Start condition
at the exact same time. Therefore, one
master will always assert SDAx before the
other. This condition does not cause a bus
collision because the two masters must be
allowed to arbitrate the first address
following the Start condition. If the address
is the same, arbitration must be allowed to
continue into the data portion, Repeated
Start or Stop conditions.

high-to-low before the BRG times out, no bus collision
occurs because no two masters can assert SDAx at
exactly the same time.
During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision

occurs if:
a)
b)
If SCLx goes from high-to-low before the BRG times

out and SDAx has not already been asserted, a bus
collision occurs. In this case, another master is
attempting to transmit a data 1 during the Repeated
Start condition (see Figure 20-32).
A low level is sampled on SDAx when SCLx

goes from low level to high level.
SCLx goes low before SDAx is asserted low,
indicating that another master is attempting to
transmit a data 1.
If, at the end of the BRG time-out, both SCLx and SDAx
are still high, the SDAx pin is driven low and the BRG
is reloaded and begins counting. At the end of the
count, regardless of the status of the SCLx pin, the
SCLx pin is driven low and the Repeated Start
condition is complete.
When the user deasserts SDAx and the pin is allowed

to float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPxADD<6:0>
and counts down to 0. The SCLx pin is then deasserted
and when sampled high, the SDAx pin is sampled.
If SDAx is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another

Bus Collision During a Stop

Condition
The Stop condition begins with SDAx asserted low.

When SDAx is sampled low, the SCLx pin is allowed to
float. When the pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),
the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with
SSPxADD<6:0> and counts down to 0. After the BRG
times out, SDAx is sampled. If SDAx is sampled low, a
bus collision has occurred. This is due to another
master attempting to drive a data 0 (Figure 20-33). If
the SCLx pin is sampled low before SDAx is allowed to
float high, a bus collision occurs. This is another case
of another master attempting to drive a data 0
(Figure 20-34).
Bus collision occurs during a Stop condition if:

a)
b)
After the SDAx pin has been deasserted and

allowed to float high, SDAx is sampled low after
the BRG has timed out.
After the SCLx pin is deasserted, SCLx is
sampled low before SDAx goes high.

ENHANCED UNIVERSAL
SYNCHRONOUS
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (EUSART)
The Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous

Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) module is one of two
serial I/O modules. (Generically, the EUSART is also
known as a Serial Communications Interface or SCI.)
The EUSART can be configured as a full-duplex
asynchronous system that can communicate with
peripheral devices, such as CRT terminals and
personal computers. It can also be configured as a
half-duplex synchronous system that can communicate
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated
circuits, serial EEPROMs, etc.
The Enhanced USART module implements additional
features, including automatic baud rate detection and
calibration, automatic wake-up on Sync Break reception
and 12-bit Break character transmit. These features
make it ideally suited for use in Local Interconnect
Network bus (LIN/J2602 bus) systems.
The 64-pin devices of the PIC18F97J60 family are
equipped with one EUSART module, referred to as
EUSART1. The 80-pin and 100-pin devices each have
two independent EUSART modules, referred to as
EUSART1 and EUSART2. They can be configured in
the following modes:
Asynchronous (full-duplex) with:
- Auto-Wake-up on Character Reception
- Auto-Baud Calibration
- 12-Bit Break Character Transmission
Synchronous Master (half-duplex) with
Selectable Clock Polarity
Synchronous Slave (half-duplex) with
Selectable Clock Polarity
The pins of EUSART1 and EUSART2 are multiplexed

with the functions of PORTC (RC6/TX1/CK1 and
RC7/RX1/DT1) and PORTG (RG1/TX2/CK2 and
RG2/RX2/DT2), respectively. In order to configure
these pins as an EUSART:
For EUSART1:
- SPEN bit (RCSTA1<7>) must be set (= 1)
- TRISC<7> bit must be set (= 1)
- TRISC<6> bit must be cleared (= 0) for
Asynchronous and Synchronous Master
modes
- TRISC<6> bit must be set (= 1) for
Synchronous Slave mode
For EUSART2:
- SPEN bit (RCSTA2<7>) must be set (= 1)
- TRISG<2> bit must be set (= 1)
- TRISG<1> bit must be cleared (= 0) for
Asynchronous and Synchronous Master
modes
- TRISG<1> bit must be set (= 1) for
Synchronous Slave mode
Note:
The EUSARTx control will automatically

reconfigure the pin from input to output as
needed.
The operation of each Enhanced USART module is

controlled through three registers:
Transmit Status and Control (TXSTAx)
Receive Status and Control (RCSTAx)
Baud Rate Control (BAUDCONx)
These are detailed on the following pages in
Register 21-1, Register 21-2 and Register 21-3,
respectively.
Note:
Throughout this section, references to

register and bit names that may be associated with a specific EUSART module are
referred to generically by the use of x in
place of the specific module number.
Thus, RCSTAx might refer to the
Receive Status register for either
EUSART1 or EUSART2.

DS39762F-page 318
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
21.1
Baud Rate Generator (BRG)
The BRG is a dedicated, 8-bit or 16-bit generator that

supports both the Asynchronous and Synchronous
modes of the EUSARTx. By default, the BRG operates
in 8-bit mode; setting the BRG16 bit (BAUDCONx<3>)
selects 16-bit mode.
The SPBRGHx:SPBRGx register pair controls the period
of a free-running timer. In Asynchronous mode, bits
BRGH (TXSTAx<2>) and BRG16 (BAUDCONx<3>) also
control the baud rate. In Synchronous mode, BRGH is
ignored. Table 21-1 shows the formula for computation of
the baud rate for different EUSARTx modes which only
apply in Master mode (internally generated clock).
Given the desired baud rate and FOSC, the nearest
integer value for the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers can
be calculated using the formulas in Table 21-1. From this,
the error in baud rate can be determined. An example
calculation is shown in Example 21-1. Typical baud rates
and error values for the various Asynchronous modes
are shown in Table 21-2. It may be advantageous to use
TABLE 21-1:
the high baud rate (BRGH = 1), or the 16-bit BRG to

reduce the baud rate error, or achieve a slow baud rate
for a fast oscillator frequency.
Writing a new value to the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This
ensures that the BRG does not wait for a timer overflow
before outputting the new baud rate.
21.1.1
OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED
MODES
The device clock is used to generate the desired baud

rate. When one of the power-managed modes is
entered, the new clock source may be operating at a
different frequency. This may require an adjustment to
the value in the SPBRGx register pair.
21.1.2
SAMPLING
The data on the RXx pin (either RC7/RX1/DT1 or

RG2/RX2/DT2) is sampled three times by a majority
detect circuit to determine if a high or a low level is
present at the RXx pin.

EQUATION 21-1:
CALCULATING BAUD RATE ERROR
For a device with FOSC of 16 MHz, desired baud rate of 9600, Asynchronous mode, 8-bit BRG:
Desired Baud Rate = FOSC/(64 ([SPBRGHx:SPBRGx] + 1))
Solving for SPBRGHx:SPBRGx:
X = ((FOSC/Desired Baud Rate)/64) 1
= ((16000000/9600)/64) 1
= [25.042] = 25
Calculated Baud Rate=16000000/(64 (25 + 1))
= 9615
Error
= (Calculated Baud Rate Desired Baud Rate)/Desired Baud Rate
= (9615 9600)/9600 = 0.16%

21.1.3
AUTO-BAUD RATE DETECT
The Enhanced USARTx module supports the

automatic detection and calibration of baud rate. This
feature is active only in Asynchronous mode and while
the WUE bit is clear.
The automatic baud rate measurement sequence
(Figure 21-1) begins whenever a Start bit is received
and the ABDEN bit is set. The calculation is
self-averaging.
While the ABD sequence takes place, the EUSARTx

state machine is held in Idle. The RCxIF interrupt is set
once the fifth rising edge on RXx is detected. The value
in the RCREGx needs to be read to clear the RCxIF
interrupt. The contents of RCREGx should be
discarded.
Note 1: If the WUE bit is set with the ABDEN bit,
Auto-Baud Rate Detection will occur on
the byte following the Break character.
2: It is up to the user to determine that the
incoming character baud rate is within the
range of the selected BRG clock source.
Some
combinations
of
oscillator
frequency and EUSARTx baud rates are
not possible due to bit error rates. Overall
system timing and communication baud
rates must be taken into consideration
when using the Auto-Baud Rate Detection
feature.
In the Auto-Baud Rate Detect (ABD) mode, the clock to

the BRG is reversed. Rather than the BRG clocking the
incoming RXx signal, the RXx signal is timing the BRG.
In ABD mode, the internal Baud Rate Generator is
used as a counter to time the bit period of the incoming
serial byte stream.
Once the ABDEN bit is set, the state machine will clear
the BRG and look for a Start bit. The Auto-Baud Rate
Detect must receive a byte with the value 55h (ASCII
U, which is also the LIN/J2602 bus Sync character) in
order to calculate the proper bit rate. The measurement
is taken over both a low and high bit time in order to minimize any effects caused by asymmetry of the incoming
signal. After a Start bit, the SPBRGx begins counting up,
using the preselected clock source on the first rising
edge of RXx. After eight bits on the RXx pin or the fifth
rising edge, an accumulated value totalling the proper
BRG period is left in the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx register
pair. Once the 5th edge is seen (this should correspond
to the Stop bit), the ABDEN bit is automatically cleared.
If a rollover of the BRG occurs (an overflow from FFFFh
to 0000h), the event is trapped by the ABDOVF status
bit (BAUDCONx<7>). It is set in hardware by BRG rollovers and can be set or cleared by the user in software.
ABD mode remains active after rollover events and the
ABDEN bit remains set (Figure 21-2).
While calibrating the baud rate period, the BRG registers
are clocked at 1/8th the preconfigured clock rate. Note
that the BRG clock will be configured by the BRG16 and
BRGH bits. Independent of the BRG16 bit setting, both
the SPBRGx and SPBRGHx will be used as a 16-bit
counter. This allows the user to verify that no carry
occurred for 8-bit modes by checking for 00h in the
SPBRGHx register. Refer to Table 21-4 for counter clock
rates to the BRG.

Note:
During the ABD sequence, SPBRGx and

SPBRGHx are both used as a 16-bit counter,
independent of the BRG16 setting.
21.1.3.1
ABD and EUSARTx Transmission
Since the BRG clock is reversed during ABD acquisition,

the EUSARTx transmitter cannot be used during ABD.
This means that whenever the ABDEN bit is set,
TXREGx cannot be written to. Users should also ensure
that ABDEN does not become set during a transmit
sequence. Failing to do this may result in unpredictable
EUSARTx operation.

21.2
EUSARTx Asynchronous Mode
The Asynchronous mode of operation is selected by

clearing the SYNC bit (TXSTAx<4>). In this mode, the
EUSARTx uses standard Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ)
format (one Start bit, eight or nine data bits and one
Stop bit). The most common data format is 8 bits. An
on-chip, dedicated 8-bit/16-bit Baud Rate Generator
can be used to derive standard baud rate frequencies
from the oscillator.
The EUSARTx transmits and receives the LSb first.
The EUSARTx modules transmitter and receiver are
functionally independent but use the same data format
and baud rate. The Baud Rate Generator produces a
clock, either x16 or x64 of the bit shift rate, depending
on the BRGH and BRG16 bits (TXSTAx<2> and
BAUDCONx<3>). Parity is not supported by the
hardware but can be implemented in software and
stored as the 9th data bit.
The
TXCKP
(BAUDCONx<4>)
and
RXDTP
(BAUDCONx<5>) bits allow the TXx and RXx signals
to be inverted (polarity reversed). Devices that buffer
signals between TTL and RS-232 levels also invert the
signal. Setting the TXCKP and RXDTP bits allows for
the use of circuits that provide buffering without
inverting the signal.
When operating in Asynchronous mode, the EUSARTx
module consists of the following important elements:

21.2.1
EUSARTx ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSMITTER
The EUSARTx transmitter block diagram is shown in

Figure 21-3. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The Shift register obtains
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,
TXREGx. The TXREGx register is loaded with data in
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the Stop
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As
soon as the Stop bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREGx register (if available).
Once the TXREGx register transfers the data to the

TSR register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREGx register
is empty and the TXxIF flag bit is set. This interrupt can
be enabled or disabled by setting or clearing the interrupt enable bit, TXxIE. TXxIF will be set regardless of
the state of TXxIE; it cannot be cleared in software.
TXxIF is also not cleared immediately upon loading
TXREGx, but becomes valid in the second instruction
cycle following the load instruction. Polling TXxIF,
immediately following a load of TXREGx, will return
invalid results.
While TXxIF indicates the status of the TXREGx register, another bit, TRMT (TXSTAx<1>), shows the status
of the TSR register. TRMT is a read-only bit which is set
when the TSR register is empty. No interrupt logic is
tied to this bit so the user has to poll this bit in order to
determine if the TSR register is empty.
Note 1: The TSR register is not mapped in data
memory, so it is not available to the user.
2: Flag bit, TXxIF, is set when enable bit
TXEN is set.
To set up an Asynchronous Transmission:

7.
8.
9.
Initialize the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers for

the appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the
BRGH and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve
the desired baud rate.
Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting bit, SPEN.
If the signal from the TXx pin is to be inverted,
set the TXCKP bit.
If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, TXxIE.
If 9-bit transmission is desired, set transmit bit,
TX9. Can be used as address/data bit.
Enable the transmission by setting the TXEN bit
which will also set bit, TXxIF.
If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit, TX9D.
Load data to the TXREGx register (starts
transmission).
If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

EUSARTx ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 21-6.

The data is received on the RXx pin and drives the data
recovery block. The data recovery block is actually a
high-speed shifter operating at x16 times the baud rate,
whereas the main receive serial shifter operates at the
bit rate or at FOSC. This mode would typically be used
in RS-232 systems.
The RXDTP bit (BAUDCON<5>) allows the RXx signal
to be inverted (polarity reversed). Devices that buffer
signals from RS-232 to TTL levels also perform an inversion of the signal (when RS-232 = positive, TTL = 0).
Inverting the polarity of the RXx pin data by setting the
RXDTP bit allows for the use of circuits that provide
buffering without inverting the signal.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception:
1.

2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting bit, SPEN.
3. If the signal at the RXx pin is to be inverted, set
the RXDTP bit.
4. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCxIE.
5. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.
6. Enable the reception by setting bit, CREN.
7. Flag bit, RCxIF, will be set when reception is
complete and an interrupt will be generated if
enable bit, RCxIE, was set.
8. Read the RCSTAx register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
9. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREGx register.
10. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
enable bit, CREN.
11. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
set.

21.2.3
SETTING UP 9-BIT MODE WITH

ADDRESS DETECT
This mode would typically be used in RS-485 systems.

To set up an Asynchronous Reception with Address
Detect Enable:
1.

2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
3. If the signal at the RXx pin is to be inverted, set
the RXDTP bit. If the signal from the TXx pin is
to be inverted, set the TXCKP bit.
4. If interrupts are required, set the RCEN bit and
select the desired priority level with the RCxIP bit.
5. Set the RX9 bit to enable 9-bit reception.
6. Set the ADDEN bit to enable address detect.
7. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.
8. The RCxIF bit will be set when reception is
complete. The interrupt will be Acknowledged if
the RCxIE and GIE bits are set.
9. Read the RCSTAx register to determine if any
error occurred during reception, as well as read
Bit 9 of data (if applicable).
10. Read RCREGx to determine if the device is
being addressed.
11. If any error occurred, clear the CREN bit.
12. If the device has been addressed, clear the
ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the
receive buffer and interrupt the CPU.

21.2.4
AUTO-WAKE-UP ON SYNC BREAK

CHARACTER
During Sleep mode, all clocks to the EUSARTx are

suspended. Because of this, the Baud Rate Generator
is inactive and a proper byte reception cannot be performed. The auto-wake-up feature allows the controller
to wake-up due to activity on the RXx/DTx line while the
EUSARTx is operating in Asynchronous mode.
The auto-wake-up feature is enabled by setting the WUE
bit (BAUDCONx<1>). Once set, the typical receive
sequence on RXx/DTx is disabled and the EUSARTx
remains in an Idle state, monitoring for a wake-up event
independent of the CPU mode. A wake-up event consists
of a high-to-low transition on the RXx/DTx line. (This
coincides with the start of a Sync Break or a Wake-up
Signal character for the LIN/J2602 protocol.)
Following a wake-up event, the module generates an
RCxIF interrupt. The interrupt is generated synchronously to the Q clocks in normal operating modes
(Figure 21-8) and asynchronously if the device is in
Sleep mode (Figure 21-9). The interrupt condition is
cleared by reading the RCREGx register.
The WUE bit is automatically cleared once a low-to-high
transition is observed on the RXx line following the
wake-up event. At this point, the EUSARTx module is in
Idle mode and returns to normal operation. This signals
to the user that the Sync Break event is over.
21.2.4.1
Oscillator start-up time must also be considered,

especially in applications using oscillators with longer
start-up intervals (i.e., HS or HSPLL mode). The Sync
Break (or Wake-up Signal) character must be of
sufficient length and be followed by a sufficient interval
to allow enough time for the selected oscillator to start
and provide proper initialization of the EUSARTx.
21.2.4.2
Special Considerations Using

the WUE Bit
The timing of WUE and RCxIF events may cause some

confusion when it comes to determining the validity of
received data. As noted, setting the WUE bit places the
EUSARTx in an Idle mode. The wake-up event causes
a receive interrupt by setting the RCxIF bit. The WUE bit
is cleared after this when a rising edge is seen on
RXx/DTx. The interrupt condition is then cleared by
reading the RCREGx register. Ordinarily, the data in
RCREGx will be dummy data and should be discarded.
The fact that the WUE bit has been cleared (or is still
set), and the RCxIF flag is set, should not be used as
an indicator of the integrity of the data in RCREGx.
Users should consider implementing a parallel method
in firmware to verify received data integrity.
To assure that no actual data is lost, check the RCIDL
bit to verify that a receive operation is not in process. If
a receive operation is not occurring, the WUE bit may
then be set just prior to entering the Sleep mode.
Special Considerations Using

Auto-Wake-up
Since auto-wake-up functions by sensing rising edge

transitions on RXx/DTx, information with any state
changes before the Stop bit may signal a false
End-of-Character (EOC) and cause data or framing
errors. To work properly, therefore, the initial character in
the transmission must be all 0s. This can be 00h
(8 bytes) for standard RS-232 devices or 000h (12 bits)
for LIN/J2602 bus.

21.2.5
BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE
The EUSARTx module has the capability of sending

the special Break character sequences that are
required by the LIN/J2602 bus standard. The Break
character transmit consists of a Start bit, followed by
twelve 0 bits and a Stop bit. The Frame Break character is sent whenever the SENDB and TXEN bits
(TXSTAx<3> and TXSTAx<5>) are set while the Transmit Shift Register (TSR) is loaded with data. Note that
the value of data written to TXREGx will be ignored and
all 0s will be transmitted.
The SENDB bit is automatically reset by hardware after
the corresponding Stop bit is sent. This allows the user
to preload the transmit FIFO with the next transmit byte
following the Break character (typically, the Sync
character in the LIN/J2602 support specification).
Note that the data value written to the TXREGx for the
Break character is ignored. The write simply serves the
purpose of initiating the proper sequence.
The TRMT bit indicates when the transmit operation is
active or Idle, just as it does during normal transmission. See Figure 21-10 for the timing of the Break
character sequence.
21.2.5.1
Break and Sync Transmit Sequence
The following sequence will send a message frame

header made up of a Break, followed by an Auto-Baud
Sync byte. This sequence is typical of a LIN/J2602 bus
master.

Set the TXEN and SENDB bits to set up the

Load the TXREGx with a dummy character to
initiate transmission (the value is ignored).
Write 55h to TXREGx to load the Sync
character into the transmit FIFO buffer.
After the Break has been sent, the SENDB bit is
reset by hardware. The Sync character now
transmits in the preconfigured mode.
When the TXREGx becomes empty, as indicated by

the TXxIF, the next data byte can be written to
TXREGx.
21.2.6
RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER
The Enhanced USARTx module can receive a Break

character in two ways.
The first method forces configuration of the baud rate
at a frequency of 9/13 the typical speed. This allows for
the Stop bit transition to be at the correct sampling
location (13 bits for Break versus Start bit, and 8 data
bits for typical data).
The second method uses the auto-wake-up feature
described in Section 21.2.4 Auto-Wake-up on Sync
Break Character. By enabling this feature, the
EUSARTx will sample the next two transitions on
RXx/DTx, cause an RCxIF interrupt and receive the
next data byte followed by another interrupt.
Note that following a Break character, the user will
typically want to enable the Auto-Baud Rate Detect
feature. For both methods, the user can set the ABDEN
bit once the TXxIF interrupt is observed.

21.3
Once the TXREGx register transfers the data to the

TSR register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREGx is empty
and the TXxIF flag bit is set. The interrupt can be
enabled or disabled by setting or clearing the interrupt
enable bit, TXxIE. TXxIF is set regardless of the state
of enable bit, TXxIE; it cannot be cleared in software. It
will reset only when new data is loaded into the
TXREGx register.
EUSARTx Synchronous
Master Mode
The Synchronous Master mode is entered by setting

the CSRC bit (TXSTAx<7>). In this mode, the data is
transmitted in a half-duplex manner (i.e., transmission
and reception do not occur at the same time). When
transmitting data, the reception is inhibited and vice
versa. Synchronous mode is entered by setting bit,
SYNC (TXSTAx<4>). In addition, enable bit, SPEN
(RCSTAx<7>), is set in order to configure the TXx and
RXx pins to CKx (clock) and DTx (data) lines,
respectively.
While flag bit, TXxIF, indicates the status of the TXREGx

register, another bit, TRMT (TXSTAx<1>), shows the
status of the TSR register. TRMT is a read-only bit which
is set when the TSR is empty. No interrupt logic is tied to
this bit, so the user must poll this bit in order to determine
if the TSR register is empty. The TSR is not mapped in
data memory so it is not available to the user.
Clock polarity (CKx) is selected with the TXCKP bit

(BAUDCON<4>). Setting TXCKP sets the Idle state on
CKx as high, while clearing the bit sets the Idle state as
low. Data polarity (DTx) is selected with the RXDTP bit
(BAUDCONx<5>). Setting RXDTP sets the Idle state
on DTx as high, while clearing the bit sets the Idle state
as low. DTx is sampled when CKx returns to its Idle
state. This option is provided to support Microwire
devices with this module.

EUSARTx SYNCHRONOUS
MASTER TRANSMISSION
The EUSARTx transmitter block diagram is shown in

Figure 21-3. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The Transmit Shift register obtains its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer
register, TXREGx. The TXREGx register is loaded with
data in software. The TSR register is not loaded until
the last bit has been transmitted from the previous load.
As soon as the last bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREGx (if available).

The analog reference voltage is software selectable to
either the devices positive and negative supply voltage
(AVDD and AVSS), or the voltage level on the
RA3/AN3/VREF+ and RA2/AN2/VREF- pins.
the A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion is complete, the result is loaded into the ADRESH:ADRESL
register pair, the GO/DONE bit (ADCON0<1>) is
cleared and the A/D Interrupt Flag bit, ADIF, is set.
The A/D Converter has a unique feature of being able

to operate while the device is in Sleep mode. To
operate in Sleep, the A/D conversion clock must be
derived from the A/D Converters internal RC oscillator.
A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.

This forces the A/D module to be turned off and any
conversion in progress is aborted. The value in the
ADRESH:ADRESL register pair is not modified for a
Power-on Reset. These registers will contain unknown
data after a Power-on Reset.
The output of the sample and hold is the input into the
converter, which generates the result via successive
approximation.
The block diagram of the A/D module is shown in

Figure 22-1.
Each port pin associated with the A/D Converter can be

configured as an analog input or as a digital I/O. The
ADRESH and ADRESL registers contain the result of

A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the A/D Converter to meet its specified accuracy,

the charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed
to fully charge to the input channel voltage level. The
Analog Input model is shown in Figure 22-2. The
source impedance (RS) and the internal sampling
switch (RSS) impedance directly affect the time
required to charge the capacitor, CHOLD. The sampling
switch (RSS) impedance varies over the device voltage
(VDD). The source impedance affects the offset voltage
at the analog input (due to pin leakage current). The
maximum recommended impedance for analog
sources is 2.5 k. After the analog input channel is
selected (changed), the channel must be sampled for
at least the minimum acquisition time before starting a
conversion.

Selecting and Configuring

Automatic Acquisition Time
The ADCON2 register allows the user to select an

acquisition time that occurs each time the GO/DONE
bit is set.
When the GO/DONE bit is set, sampling is stopped and
a conversion begins. The user is responsible for ensuring the required acquisition time has passed between
selecting the desired input channel and setting the
GO/DONE bit. This occurs when the ACQT<2:0> bits
(ADCON2<5:3>) remain in their Reset state (000) and
is compatible with devices that do not offer
programmable acquisition times.
If desired, the ACQT bits can be set to select a
programmable acquisition time for the A/D module.
When the GO/DONE bit is set, the A/D module continues
to sample the input for the selected acquisition time, then
automatically begins a conversion. Since the acquisition
time is programmed, there may be no need to wait for an
acquisition time between selecting a channel and setting
the GO/DONE bit.
In either case, when the conversion is completed, the
GO/DONE bit is cleared, the ADIF flag is set and the
A/D begins sampling the currently selected channel
again. If an acquisition time is programmed, there is
nothing to indicate if the acquisition time has ended or
if the conversion has begun.
22.3
Selecting the A/D Conversion

Clock
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The

A/D conversion requires 11 TAD per 10-bit conversion.
The source of the A/D conversion clock is software
selectable.
There are seven possible options for TAD:
2 TOSC
4 TOSC
8 TOSC
16 TOSC
32 TOSC
64 TOSC
Internal RC Oscillator
Table 22-1 shows the resultant TAD times derived from

the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock
source selected.

The RC source has a typical TAD time of

See Parameter 130 in Table 28-27 for A/D
RC clock specifications.
Configuring Analog Port Pins
The ADCON1, TRISA, TRISF and TRISH registers

control the operation of the A/D port pins. The port pins
needed as analog inputs must have their corresponding TRIS bits set (input). If the TRIS bit is cleared
(output), the digital output level (VOH or VOL) will be
converted.
The A/D operation is independent of the state of the
CHS<3:0> bits and the TRIS bits.
Note 1: When reading the PORT register, all pins
configured as analog input channels will
read as cleared (a low level). Pins configured as digital inputs will convert an
analog input. Analog levels on a digitally
configured input will be accurately
converted.
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a
digital input may cause the digital input
buffer to consume current out of the
devices specification limits.
For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock

(TAD) must be as short as possible but greater than
the minimum TAD. See Section 28.0 Electrical
Characteristics, A/D Parameter 130 in Table 28-27
for more information.

A/D Conversions
22.6
Figure 22-3 shows the operation of the A/D Converter

after the GO/DONE bit has been set and the
ACQT<2:0> bits are cleared. A conversion is started
after the following instruction to allow entry into Sleep
mode before the conversion begins.
An A/D conversion can be started by the Special Event

Trigger of the ECCP2 module. This requires that the
CCP2M<3:0> bits (CCP2CON<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 acquisition and conversion
and the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter will be reset to zero.
Timer1 (or Timer3) is reset to automatically repeat the
A/D acquisition period with minimal software overhead
(moving ADRESH/ADRESL to the desired location).
The appropriate analog input channel must be selected
and the minimum acquisition period is either timed by
the user, or an appropriate TACQ time is selected before
the Special Event Trigger sets the GO/DONE bit (starts
a conversion).
Figure 22-4 shows the operation of the A/D Converter

after the GO/DONE bit has been set, the ACQT<2:0> bits
are set to 010 and a 4 TAD acquisition time has been
selected before the conversion starts.
Clearing the GO/DONE bit during a conversion will
abort the current conversion. The A/D Result register
pair will NOT be updated with the partially completed
A/D
conversion
sample.
This
means
the
ADRESH:ADRESL registers will continue to contain
the value of the last completed conversion (or the last
value written to the ADRESH:ADRESL registers).
If the A/D module is not enabled (ADON is cleared), the

Special Event Trigger will be ignored by the A/D module
but will still reset the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter.
After the A/D conversion is completed or aborted, a

2 TAD wait is required before the next acquisition can be
started. After this wait, acquisition on the selected
channel is automatically started.
Note:
Use of the ECCP2 Trigger
The GO/DONE bit should NOT be set in

the same instruction that turns on the A/D.

22.7
A/D Converter Calibration
The A/D Converter in the PIC18F97J60 family of

devices includes a self-calibration feature which compensates for any offset generated within the module.
The calibration process is automated and is initiated by
setting the ADCAL bit (ADCON0<7>). The next time
the GO/DONE bit is set, the module will perform a
dummy conversion (that is, with reading none of the
input channels) and store the resulting value internally
to compensate for offset. Thus, subsequent offsets will
be compensated.
The calibration process assumes that the device is in a
relatively steady-state operating condition. If A/D
calibration is used, it should be performed after each
device Reset, or if there are other major changes in
operating conditions.
22.8
Operation in Power-Managed
Modes
The selection of the automatic acquisition time and A/D

conversion clock is determined in part by the clock
source and frequency while in a power-managed
mode.
TABLE 22-2:
Name
If the A/D is expected to operate while the device is in

a power-managed mode, the ACQT<2:0> and
ADCS<2:0> bits in ADCON2 should be updated in
accordance with the power-managed mode clock that
will be used. After the power-managed mode is entered
(either of the power-managed Run modes), an A/D
acquisition or conversion may be started. Once an
acquisition or conversion is started, the device should
continue to be clocked by the same power-managed
mode clock source until the conversion has been
completed. If desired, the device may be placed into
the corresponding power-managed Idle mode during
the conversion.
If the power-managed mode clock frequency is less
than 1 MHz, the A/D RC clock source should be
selected.
Operation in Sleep mode requires the A/D RC clock to
be selected. If bits, ACQT<2:0>, are set to 000 and a
conversion is started, the conversion will be delayed
one instruction cycle to allow execution of the SLEEP
instruction and entry to Sleep mode. The IDLEN and
SCS bits in the OSCCON register must have already
been cleared prior to starting the conversion.

comparators that can be configured in a variety of
ways. The inputs can be selected from the analog
inputs, multiplexed with pins, RF1 through RF6, as well
as the on-chip voltage reference (see Section 24.0
Comparator Voltage Reference Module). The digital outputs (normal or inverted) are available at the pin
level and can also be read through the control register.
REGISTER 23-1:
The CMCON register (Register 23-1) selects the

comparator input and output configuration. Block

TRISF register controls the data direction of the
comparator pins for each mode. If the Comparator

23.3.2
Comparator Operation
A single comparator is shown in Figure 23-2, along with

the relationship between the analog input levels and
the digital output. When the analog input at VIN+ is less
than the analog input VIN-, the output of the comparator
is a digital low level. When the analog input at VIN+ is
greater than the analog input, VIN-, the output of the
comparator is a digital high level. The shaded areas of
the output of the comparator in Figure 23-2 represent
the uncertainty due to input offsets and response time.
23.3
Comparator Reference
Depending on the comparator operating mode, either

an external or internal voltage reference may be used.
The analog signal present at VIN- is compared to the
signal at VIN+ and the digital output of the comparator
is adjusted accordingly (Figure 23-2).
FIGURE 23-2:
SINGLE COMPARATOR
VIN+

23.3.1
INTERNAL REFERENCE SIGNAL
The comparator module also allows the selection of an

internally generated voltage reference from the
comparator voltage reference module. This module is
described in more detail in Section 24.0 Comparator
Voltage Reference Module.
The internal reference is only available in the mode
where four inputs are multiplexed to two comparators
(CM<2:0> = 110). In this mode, the internal voltage
reference is applied to the VIN+ pin of both
comparators.
23.4
Comparator Response Time
Response time is the minimum time, after selecting a

new reference voltage or input source, before the
comparator output has a valid level. If the internal reference is changed, the maximum delay of the internal
voltage reference must be considered when using the
comparator outputs. Otherwise, the maximum delay of
the comparators should be used (see Section 28.0
Electrical Characteristics).
23.5
Comparator Outputs
The comparator outputs are read through the CMCON

register. These bits are read-only. The comparator
outputs may also be directly output to the RF1 and RF2
I/O pins. When enabled, multiplexors in the output path
of the RF1 and RF2 pins will switch and the output of
each pin will be the unsynchronized output of the
comparator. The uncertainty of each of the
comparators is related to the input offset voltage and
the response time given in the specifications.
Figure 23-3 shows the comparator output block
diagram.
The TRISF bits will still function as an output
enable/disable for the RF1 and RF2 pins while in this
mode.
EXTERNAL REFERENCE SIGNAL
When external voltage references are used, the

comparator module can be configured to have the comparators operate from the same or different reference
sources. However, threshold detector applications may
require the same reference. The reference signal must
be between VSS and VDD and can be applied to either
pin of the comparator(s).
The polarity of the comparator outputs can be changed

using the C2INV and C1INV bits (CMCON<5:4>).
Note 1: When reading the PORT register, all pins
configured as analog inputs will read as
0. Pins configured as digital inputs will
convert an analog input according to the
Schmitt Trigger input specification.
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a
digital input may cause the input buffer to
consume more current than is specified.

Comparator Interrupts
The comparator interrupt flag is set whenever there is

a change in the output value of either comparator.
Software will need to maintain information about the
status of the output bits, as read from CMCON<7:6>, to
determine the actual change that occurred. The CMIF
bit (PIR2<6>) is the Comparator Interrupt Flag. The
CMIF bit must be reset by clearing it. Since it is also
possible to write a 1 to this register, a simulated
interrupt may be initiated.
Both the CMIE bit (PIE2<6>) and the PEIE bit
(INTCON<6>) must be set to enable the interrupt. In
addition, the GIE bit (INTCON<7>) must also be set. If
any of these bits are clear, the interrupt is not enabled,
though the CMIF bit will still be set if an interrupt
condition occurs.
Note:
If a change in the CMCON register

(C1OUT or C2OUT) should occur when a
read operation is being executed (start of
the Q2 cycle), then the CMIF (PIR2
register) interrupt flag may not get set.

interrupt in the following manner:

23.7
Comparator Operation
During Sleep
When a comparator is active and the device is placed

in Sleep mode, the comparator remains active and the
interrupt is functional, if enabled. This interrupt will
wake-up the device from Sleep mode, when enabled.
Each operational comparator will consume additional
current, as shown in the comparator specifications. To
minimize power consumption while in Sleep mode, turn
off the comparators (CM<2:0> = 111) before entering
Sleep. If the device wakes up from Sleep, the contents
of the CMCON register are not affected.
23.8
Effects of a Reset
A device Reset forces the CMCON register to its Reset

state, causing the comparator modules to be turned off
(CM<2:0> = 111). However, the input pins (RF3
through RF6) are configured as analog inputs by
default on device Reset. The I/O configuration for these
pins is determined by the setting of the PCFG<3:0> bits
(ADCON1<3:0>). Therefore, device current is
minimized when analog inputs are present at Reset
time.
Any read or write of CMCON will end the

mismatch condition.
Clear flag bit, CMIF.
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit, CMIF.

Reading CMCON will end the mismatch condition and
allow flag bit, CMIF, to be cleared.

range by more than 0.6V in either direction, one of the

diodes is forward biased and a latch-up condition may
occur. A maximum source impedance of 10 k is
recommended for the analog sources. Any external
component connected to an analog input pin, such as
a capacitor or a Zener diode, should have very little
leakage current.
Analog Input Connection

Considerations
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in

Figure 23-4. Since the analog pins are connected to a
digital output, they have reverse biased diodes to VDD
and VSS. The analog input, therefore, must be between
VSS and VDD. If the input voltage deviates from this

COMPARATOR VOLTAGE
REFERENCE MODULE
The comparator voltage reference is a 16-tap resistor

ladder network that provides a selectable reference
voltage. Although its primary purpose is to provide a
reference for the analog comparators, it may also be
used independently of them.
A block diagram of the module is shown in Figure 24-1.
The resistor ladder is segmented to provide two ranges
of CVREF values and has a power-down function to
conserve power when the reference is not being used.
The modules supply reference can be provided from
either device VDD/VSS or an external voltage reference.
24.1
Configuring the Comparator

Voltage Reference
The voltage reference module is controlled through the

CVRCON register (Register 24-1). The comparator
voltage reference provides two ranges of output voltage, each with 16 distinct levels. The range to be used
REGISTER 24-1:
is selected by the CVRR bit (CVRCON<5>). The

primary difference between the ranges is the size of the
steps selected by the CVREF selection bits
(CVR<3:0>), with one range offering finer resolution.
The equations used to calculate the output of the
comparator voltage reference are as follows:
If CVRR = 1:
CVREF = ((CVR<3:0>)/24) x (CVRSRC)
If CVRR = 0:
CVREF = (CVRSRC/4) + ((CVR<3:0>)/32) x
(CVRSRC)
The comparator reference supply voltage can come
from either VDD and VSS, or the external VREF+ and
VREF- that are multiplexed with RA2 and RA3. The
voltage source is selected by the CVRSS bit
(CVRCON<4>).
The settling time of the comparator voltage reference
must be considered when changing the CVREF
output (see Table 28-3 in Section 28.0 Electrical
Characteristics).

Comparator Voltage Reference

Accuracy/Error
The full range of voltage reference cannot be realized

due to the construction of the module. The transistors
on the top and bottom of the resistor ladder network
(Figure 24-1) keep CVREF from approaching the reference source rails. The voltage reference is derived
from the reference source; therefore, the CVREF output
changes with fluctuations in that source. The tested
absolute accuracy of the voltage reference can be
found in Section 28.0 Electrical Characteristics.
24.3
Operation During Sleep
When the device wakes up from Sleep through an

interrupt, or a Watchdog Timer time-out, the contents of
the CVRCON register are not affected. To minimize
current consumption in Sleep mode, the voltage
reference should be disabled.
24.4
Effects of a Reset
A device Reset disables the voltage reference by

clearing bit, CVREN (CVRCON<7>). This Reset also
disconnects the reference from the RA2 pin by clearing
bit, CVROE (CVRCON<6>), and selects the
high-voltage
range
by
clearing
bit,
CVRR
(CVRCON<5>). The CVR value select bits are also
cleared.
24.5
Connection Considerations
The voltage reference module operates independently

of the comparator module. The output of the reference
generator may be connected to the RF5 pin if the
CVROE bit is set. Enabling the voltage reference output onto RA2, when it is configured as a digital input,
will increase current consumption. Connecting RF5 as
a digital output with CVRSS enabled will also increase
current consumption.
The RF5 pin can be used as a simple D/A output with
limited drive capability. Due to the limited current drive
capability, a buffer must be used on the voltage
reference output for external connections to VREF.
Figure 24-2 shows an example buffering technique.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE

CPU
PIC18F97J60 family devices include several features

intended to maximize reliability and minimize cost
through elimination of external components. These are:
Oscillator Selection
Resets:
- Power-on Reset (POR)
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
- Brown-out Reset (BOR)
Interrupts
Watchdog Timer (WDT)
Two-Speed Start-up
Code Protection
In-Circuit Serial Programming
The oscillator can be configured for the application
depending on frequency, power, accuracy and cost. All
of the options are discussed in detail in Section 3.0
Oscillator Configurations.
A complete discussion of device Resets and interrupts
is available in previous sections of this data sheet.
In addition to their Power-up and Oscillator Start-up
Timers provided for Resets, the PIC18F97J60 family of
devices has a configurable Watchdog Timer which is
controlled in software.
The inclusion of an internal RC oscillator also provides
the additional benefits of a Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
(FSCM) and Two-Speed Start-up. FSCM provides for
background monitoring of the peripheral clock and
automatic switchover in the event of its failure.
Two-Speed Start-up enables code to be executed
almost immediately on start-up while the primary clock
source completes its start-up delays.
All of these features are enabled and configured by
setting the appropriate Configuration register bits.
25.1
Configuration Bits
25.1.1
CONSIDERATIONS FOR
CONFIGURING THE PIC18F97J60
FAMILY DEVICES
Devices of the PIC18F97J60 family do not use persistent memory registers to store configuration information.
The configuration bytes are implemented as volatile
memory which means that configuration data must be
programmed each time the device is powered up.
Configuration data is stored in the four words at the top
of the on-chip program memory space, known as the
Flash Configuration Words, which are located in the
program memory space, as shown in Table 6-1. The
Configuration Words are stored in the same order
shown in Table 25-1, with CONFIG1L at the lowest
address and CONFIG3H at the highest. The data is
automatically loaded in the proper Configuration
registers during device power-up.
When creating applications for these devices, users
should always specifically allocate the location of the
Flash Configuration Word for configuration data. This is
to make certain that program code is not stored in this
address when the code is compiled.
The volatile memory cells used for the Configuration
bits always reset to 1 on Power-on Resets. For all
other types of Reset events, the previously programmed values are maintained and used without
reloading from program memory.
The four Most Significant bits of CONFIG1H,
CONFIG2H and CONFIG3H, in program memory,
should also be 1111. This makes these Configuration
Words appear to be NOP instructions in the remote
event that their locations are ever executed by
accident. Since Configuration bits are not implemented
in the corresponding locations, writing 1s to these
locations has no effect on device operation.
To prevent inadvertent configuration changes during
code execution, all programmable Configuration bits
are write-once. After a bit is initially programmed during
a power cycle, it cannot be written to again. Changing
a device configuration requires that power to the device
be cycled.
The Configuration bits can be programmed (read as

0) or left unprogrammed (read as 1) to select various
device configurations. These bits are mapped starting
at program memory location, 300000h. A complete list
is shown in Table 25-1. A detailed explanation of the
various bit functions is provided in Register 25-1
through Register 25-8.

Values reflect the unprogrammed state as received from the factory and following Power-on Resets. In all other Reset
states, the configuration bytes maintain their previously programmed states.

Watchdog Timer (WDT)
For PIC18F97J60 family devices, the WDT is driven by

the INTRC oscillator. When the WDT is enabled, the
clock source is also enabled. The nominal WDT period
is 4 ms and has the same stability as the INTRC
oscillator.
The 4 ms period of the WDT is multiplied by a 16-bit
postscaler. Any output of the WDT postscaler is
selected by a multiplexor, controlled by the WDTPS bits
in Configuration Register 2H. Available periods range
from 4 ms to 131.072 seconds (2.18 minutes). The
WDT and postscaler are cleared whenever a SLEEP or
CLRWDT instruction is executed, or a clock failure
(primary or Timer1 oscillator) has occurred.
FIGURE 25-1:

Note 1: The CLRWDT and SLEEP instructions

when executed.
2: When a CLRWDT instruction is executed,
the postscaler count will be cleared.
25.2.1
CONTROL REGISTER
The WDTCON register (Register 25-9) is a readable

and writable register. The SWDTEN bit enables or disables WDT operation. This allows software to override
the WDTEN Configuration bit and enable the WDT only
if it has been disabled by the Configuration bit.

25.3
On-Chip Voltage Regulator
All of the PIC18F97J60 family devices power their core

digital logic at a nominal 2.5V. This may create an issue
for designs that are required to operate at a higher
typical voltage, such as 3.3V. To simplify system
design, all devices in the PIC18F97J60 family incorporate an on-chip regulator that allows the device to
run its core logic from VDD.
The regulator is controlled by the ENVREG pin. Tying
VDD to the pin enables the regulator, which in turn,
provides power to the core from the other VDD pins.
When the regulator is enabled, a low-ESR filter capacitor
must be connected to the VDDCORE/VCAP pin
(Figure 25-2). This helps to maintain the stability of the
regulator. The recommended value for the filter capacitor
is provided in Section 28.3 DC Characteristics:
PIC18F97J60 Family (Industrial).
If ENVREG is tied to VSS, the regulator is disabled. In
this case, separate power for the core logic, at a nominal 2.5V, must be supplied to the device on the
VDDCORE/VCAP pin to run the I/O pins at higher voltage
levels, typically 3.3V. Alternatively, the VDDCORE/VCAP
and VDD pins can be tied together to operate at a lower
nominal voltage. Refer to Figure 25-2 for possible
configurations.

25.3.2
POWER-UP REQUIREMENTS
The on-chip regulator is designed to meet the power-up

requirements for the device. If the application does not
use the regulator, then strict power-up conditions must
be adhered to. While powering up, VDDCORE must
never exceed VDD by 0.3 volts.

Regulator Disabled (ENVREG tied to ground):
ON-CHIP REGULATOR AND BOR
When the on-chip regulator is enabled, PIC18F97J60

family devices also have a simple brown-out capability.
If the voltage supplied to the regulator is inadequate to
maintain a regulated level, the regulator Reset circuitry
will generate a Brown-out Reset. This event is captured
by the BOR flag bit (RCON<0>).

In all other power-managed modes, Two-Speed

Start-up is not used. The device will be clocked by the
currently selected clock source until the primary clock
source becomes available. The setting of the IESO bit
is ignored.
Two-Speed Start-up
The Two-Speed Start-up feature helps to minimize the

latency period, from oscillator start-up to code execution, by allowing the microcontroller to use the INTRC
oscillator as a clock source until the primary clock
source is available. It is enabled by setting the IESO
Configuration bit.
25.4.1
Two-Speed Start-up should be enabled only if the

primary oscillator mode is HS or HSPLL
(Crystal-Based) modes. Since the EC and ECPLL
modes do not require an Oscillator Start-up Timer
delay, Two-Speed Start-up should be disabled.
While using the INTRC oscillator in Two-Speed

Start-up, the device still obeys the normal command
sequences for entering power-managed modes,
including serial SLEEP instructions (refer to
Section 4.1.4 Multiple Sleep Commands). In practice, this means that user code can change the
SCS<1:0> bit settings, or issue SLEEP instructions,
before the OST times out. This would allow an application to briefly wake-up, perform routine housekeeping
tasks and return to Sleep before the device starts to
operate from the primary oscillator.
When enabled, Resets and wake-ups from Sleep mode

cause the device to configure itself to run from the
internal oscillator block as the clock source, following
the time-out of the Power-up Timer after a Power-on
Reset is enabled. This allows almost immediate code
execution while the primary oscillator starts and the
OST is running. Once the OST times out, the device
automatically switches to PRI_RUN mode.
FIGURE 25-3:
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR

USING TWO-SPEED START-UP
User code can also check if the primary clock source is

currently providing the device clocking by checking the
status of the OSTS bit (OSCCON<3>). If the bit is set,
the primary oscillator is providing the clock. Otherwise,
the internal oscillator block is providing the clock during
wake-up from Reset or Sleep mode.

The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the

microcontroller to continue operation in the event of an
external oscillator failure by automatically switching the
device clock to the internal oscillator block. The FSCM
function is enabled by setting the FCMEN
Configuration bit.
When FSCM is enabled, the INTRC oscillator runs at
all times to monitor clocks to peripherals and provide a
backup clock in the event of a clock failure. Clock
monitoring (shown in Figure 25-4) is accomplished by
creating a sample clock signal which is the INTRC output, divided by 64. This allows ample time between
FSCM sample clocks for a peripheral clock edge to
occur. The peripheral device clock and the sample
clock are presented as inputs to the Clock Monitor
(CM) latch. The CM is set on the falling edge of the
device clock source but cleared on the rising edge of
the sample clock.

The FSCM will detect failures of the primary or secondary clock sources only. If the internal oscillator block
fails, no failure would be detected, nor would any action
be possible.
25.5.1
Clock failure is tested for on the falling edge of the

sample clock. If a sample clock falling edge occurs
while CM is still set, a clock failure has been detected
(Figure 25-5). This causes the following:
The FSCM generates an oscillator fail interrupt by
setting bit, OSCFIF (PIR2<7>)
The device clock source is switched to the internal
oscillator block (OSCCON is not updated to show
the current clock source this is the fail-safe
condition)
The WDT is reset
FSCM AND THE WATCHDOG TIMER
Both the FSCM and the WDT are clocked by the

INTRC oscillator. Since the WDT operates with a
separate divider and counter, disabling the WDT has
no effect on the operation of the INTRC oscillator when
the FSCM is enabled.
As already noted, the clock source is switched to the
INTRC clock when a clock failure is detected. This may
mean a substantial change in the speed of code execution. If the WDT is enabled with a small prescale value,
a decrease in clock speed allows a WDT time-out to
occur and a subsequent device Reset. For this reason,
Fail-Safe Clock events also reset the WDT and postscaler, allowing it to start timing from when execution
speed was changed, and decreasing the likelihood of
an erroneous time-out.
25.5.2
Clock
Failure
Detected
During switchover, the postscaler frequency from the

internal oscillator block may not be sufficiently stable
for timing-sensitive applications. In these cases, it may
be desirable to select another clock configuration and
enter an alternate power-managed mode. This can be
done to attempt a partial recovery or execute a
controlled shutdown. See Section 4.1.4 Multiple
Sleep Commands and Section 25.4.1 Special
Considerations for Using Two-Speed Start-up for
more details.
EXITING FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
The fail-safe condition is terminated by either a device

Reset or by entering a power-managed mode. On
Reset, the controller starts the primary clock source
specified in Configuration Register 2H (with any
required start-up delays that are required for the oscillator mode, such as OST or PLL timer). The INTRC
oscillator provides the device clock until the primary
clock source becomes ready (similar to a Two-Speed
Start-up). The clock source is then switched to the
primary clock (indicated by the OSTS bit in the
OSCCON register becoming set). The Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor then resumes monitoring the peripheral clock.
The primary clock source may never become ready
during start-up. In this case, operation is clocked by the
INTRC oscillator. The OSCCON register will remain in
its Reset state until a power-managed mode is entered.

The device clock is normally at a much higher frequency than the sample clock. The relative frequencies in

FSCM INTERRUPTS IN
POWER-MANAGED MODES
By entering a power-managed mode, the clock

multiplexor selects the clock source selected by the
OSCCON register. Fail-Safe Monitoring of the
power-managed clock source resumes in the
power-managed mode.
If an oscillator failure occurs during power-managed
operation, the subsequent events depend on whether
or not the oscillator failure interrupt is enabled. If
enabled (OSCFIF = 1), code execution will be clocked
by the INTRC multiplexor. An automatic transition back
to the failed clock source will not occur.
If the interrupt is disabled, subsequent interrupts while
in Idle mode will cause the CPU to begin executing
instructions while being clocked by the INTRC source.
25.5.4
CM Test
POR OR WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The FSCM is designed to detect oscillator failure at any

point after the device has exited Power-on Reset
(POR) or low-power Sleep mode. When the primary
device clock is either EC or INTRC, monitoring can
begin immediately following these events.
DS39762F-page 372
For HS or HSPLL modes, the situation is somewhat

different. Since the oscillator may require a start-up
time considerably longer than the FSCM sample clock
time, a false clock failure may be detected. To prevent
this, the internal oscillator block is automatically configured as the device clock and functions until the primary
clock is stable (the OST and PLL timers have timed
out). This is identical to Two-Speed Start-up mode.
Once the primary clock is stable, the INTRC returns to
its role as the FSCM source.
Note:
The same logic that prevents false oscillator failure interrupts on POR, or wake from
Sleep, will also prevent the detection of
the oscillators failure to start at all following these events. This can be avoided by
monitoring the OSTS bit and using a
timing routine to determine if the oscillator
is taking too long to start. Even so, no
oscillator failure interrupt will be flagged.
As noted in Section 25.4.1 Special Considerations

for Using Two-Speed Start-up, it is also possible to
select another clock configuration and enter an alternate
power-managed mode while waiting for the primary
clock to become stable. When the new power-managed
mode is selected, the primary clock is disabled.
PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
25.6
Program Verification and

Code Protection
For all devices in the PIC18F97J60 family, the on-chip

program memory space is treated as a single block.
Code protection for this block is controlled by one
Configuration bit, CP0. This bit inhibits external reads
and writes to the program memory space. It has no
direct effect in normal execution mode.
25.6.1
CONFIGURATION REGISTER
PROTECTION
The Configuration registers are protected against

untoward changes or reads in two ways. The primary
protection is the write-once feature of the Configuration
bits which prevents reconfiguration once the bit has
been programmed during a power cycle. To safeguard
against unpredictable events, Configuration bit
changes resulting from individual cell level disruptions
(such as ESD events) will cause a parity error and
trigger a device Reset.
The data for the Configuration registers is derived from
the Flash Configuration Words in program memory.
When the CP0 bit is programmed (cleared), the source
data for device configuration is also protected as a
consequence.
25.7
In-Circuit Serial Programming
PIC18F97J60 family microcontrollers can be serially

programmed while in the end application circuit. This is
simply done with two lines for clock and data and three
other lines for power, ground and the programming
voltage. This allows customers to manufacture boards
with unprogrammed devices and then program the
microcontroller just before shipping the product. This
also allows the most recent firmware or a custom
firmware to be programmed.
25.8
In-Circuit Debugger
When the DEBUG Configuration bit is programmed to

a 0, the In-Circuit Debugger functionality is enabled.
This function allows simple debugging functions when
used with MPLAB IDE. When the microcontroller has
this feature enabled, some resources are not available
for general use. Table 25-3 shows which resources are
required by the background debugger.

INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC18F97J60 family of devices incorporates the

standard set of 75 PIC18 core instructions, as well as
an extended set of 8 new instructions for the optimization of code that is recursive or that utilizes a software
stack. The extended set is discussed later in this
section.
26.1
Standard Instruction Set
The standard PIC18 instruction set adds many

enhancements to the previous PIC MCU instruction
sets, while maintaining an easy migration from these
PIC MCU instruction sets. Most instructions are a
single program memory word (16 bits), but there are
four instructions that require two program memory
locations.
Each single-word instruction is a 16-bit word divided
into an opcode, which specifies the instruction type and
one or more operands, which further specify the
operation of the instruction.
The instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped
into four basic categories:
Byte-oriented operations
Bit-oriented operations
Literal operations
Control operations
The PIC18 instruction set summary in Table 26-2 lists

byte-oriented, bit-oriented, literal and control
operations. Table 26-1 shows the opcode field
descriptions.
Most byte-oriented instructions have three operands:
1.
2.
3.
The file register (specified by f)

The destination of the result (specified by d)
The accessed memory (specified by a)
The file register designator f specifies which file register is to be used by the instruction. The destination
designator d specifies where the result of the
operation is to be placed. If d is zero, the result is
placed in the WREG register. If d is one, the result is
placed in the file register specified in the instruction.
All bit-oriented instructions have three operands:
1.
2.
3.
The file register (specified by f)

The bit in the file register (specified by b)
The accessed memory (specified by a)
The literal instructions may use some of the following

operands:
A literal value to be loaded into a file register
(specified by k)
The desired FSR register to load the literal value
into (specified by f)
No operand required
(specified by )
The control instructions may use some of the following
operands:
A program memory address (specified by n)
The mode of the CALL or RETURN instructions
(specified by s)
The mode of the table read and table write
instructions (specified by m)
No operand required
(specified by )
All instructions are a single word, except for four
double-word instructions. These instructions were
made double-word to contain the required information
in 32 bits. In the second word, the 4 MSbs are 1s. If
this second word is executed as an instruction (by
itself), it will execute as a NOP.
All single-word instructions are executed in a single
instruction cycle, unless a conditional test is true or the
program counter is changed as a result of the instruction. In these cases, the execution takes two instruction
cycles with the additional instruction cycle(s) executed
as a NOP.
The double-word instructions execute in two instruction
cycles.
One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods.
Thus, for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, the normal
instruction execution time is 1 s. If a conditional test is
true, or the program counter is changed as a result of
an instruction, the instruction execution time is 2 s.
Two-word branch instructions (if true) would take 3 s.
Figure 26-1 shows the general formats that the instructions can have. All examples use the convention nnh
to represent a hexadecimal number.
The Instruction Set Summary, shown in Table 26-2,
lists the standard instructions recognized by the
Microchip MPASMTM Assembler.
Section 26.1.1 Standard Instruction Set provides
a description of each instruction.
The bit field designator b selects the number of the bit

affected by the operation, while the file register designator f represents the number of the file in which the
bit is located.

Note 1:
When a PORT register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1, 0), the value used will be that
value present on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is 1 for a pin configured as an input and is
driven low by an external device, the data will be written back with a 0.
If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and, where applicable, d = 1), the prescaler will be cleared if
assigned.
If Program Counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second
cycle is executed as a NOP.
Some instructions are two-word instructions. The second word of these instructions will be executed as a NOP
unless the first word of the instruction retrieves the information embedded in these 16 bits. This ensures that all
program memory locations have a valid instruction.

A summary of the instructions in the extended instruction set is provided in Table 26-3. Detailed descriptions
are provided in Section 26.2.2 Extended Instruction
Set. The opcode field descriptions in Table 26-1 (page
376) apply to both the standard and extended PIC18
instruction sets.
In addition to the standard 75 instructions of the PIC18

instruction set, the PIC18F97J60 family of devices also
provide an optional extension to the core CPU functionality. The added features include eight additional
instructions that augment Indirect and Indexed
Addressing operations and the implementation of
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing for many of the
standard PIC18 instructions.
Note:
The additional features of the extended instruction set

are enabled by default on unprogrammed devices.
Users must properly set or clear the XINST Configuration bit during programming to enable or disable these
features.
The instructions in the extended set can all be
classified as literal operations, which either manipulate
the File Select Registers, or use them for Indexed
Addressing. Two of the instructions, ADDFSR and
SUBFSR, each have an additional special instantiation
for using FSR2. These versions (ADDULNK and
SUBULNK) allow for automatic return after execution.
26.2.1
EXTENDED INSTRUCTION SYNTAX
Most of the extended instructions use indexed arguments, using one of the File Select Registers and some
offset to specify a source or destination register. When
an argument for an instruction serves as part of
Indexed Addressing, it is enclosed in square brackets
([ ]). This is done to indicate that the argument is used
as an index or offset. The MPASM Assembler will
flag an error if it determines that an index or offset value
is not bracketed.
The extended instructions are specifically implemented

to optimize reentrant program code (that is, code that is
recursive or that uses a software stack) written in
high-level languages, particularly C. Among other
things, they allow users working in high-level
languages to perform certain operations on data
structures more efficiently. These include:
When the extended instruction set is enabled, brackets

are also used to indicate index arguments in
byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions. This is in
addition to other changes in their syntax. For more
details, see Section 26.2.3.1 Extended Instruction
Syntax with Standard PIC18 Commands.
Dynamic allocation and deallocation of software

stack space when entering and leaving
subroutines
Function Pointer invocation
Software Stack Pointer manipulation
Manipulation of variables located in a software
stack
TABLE 26-3:
The instruction set extension and the

were designed for optimizing applications
written in C; the user may likely never use
these instructions directly in assembler.
The syntax for these commands is
provided as a reference for users who
may be reviewing code that has been
generated by a compiler.
Note:
In the past, square brackets have been

used to denote optional arguments in the
PIC18 and earlier instruction sets. In this
text and going forward, optional
arguments are denoted by braces ({ }).

26.2.3
Note:
BYTE-ORIENTED AND
BIT-ORIENTED INSTRUCTIONS IN
Enabling the PIC18 instruction set extension may cause legacy applications to
behave erratically or fail entirely.
In addition to eight new commands in the extended set,

enabling the extended instruction set also enables
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing (Section 6.6.1
Indexed Addressing with Literal Offset). This has
a significant impact on the way that many commands of
the standard PIC18 instruction set are interpreted.
When the extended set is disabled, addresses embedded in opcodes are treated as literal memory locations:
either as a location in the Access Bank (a = 0) or in a
GPR bank designated by the BSR (a = 1). When the
extended instruction set is enabled and a = 0, however,
a file register argument of 5Fh or less is interpreted as
an offset from the pointer value in FSR2 and not as a
literal address. For practical purposes, this means that
all instructions that use the Access RAM bit as an
argument that is, all byte-oriented and bit-oriented
instructions, or almost half of the core PIC18 instructions may behave differently when the extended
instruction set is enabled.
When the content of FSR2 is 00h, the boundaries of the
Access RAM are essentially remapped to their original
values. This may be useful in creating
backward-compatible code. If this technique is used, it
may be necessary to save the value of FSR2 and
restore it when moving back and forth between C and
assembly routines in order to preserve the Stack
Pointer. Users must also keep in mind the syntax
requirements of the extended instruction set (see
Section 26.2.3.1 Extended Instruction Syntax with
Standard PIC18 Commands).
Although the Indexed Literal Offset mode can be very
useful for dynamic stack and pointer manipulation, it
can also be very annoying if a simple arithmetic operation is carried out on the wrong register. Users who are
accustomed to the PIC18 programming must keep in
mind that, when the extended instruction set is
enabled, register addresses of 5Fh or less are used for
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing.
Representative examples of typical byte-oriented and
bit-oriented instructions in the Indexed Literal Offset
mode are provided on the following page to show how
execution is affected. The operand conditions shown in
the examples are applicable to all instructions of these
types.
DS39762F-page 422
26.2.3.1
Extended Instruction Syntax with

Standard PIC18 Commands
When the extended instruction set is enabled, the file

register argument f in the standard byte-oriented and
bit-oriented commands is replaced with the literal offset
value k. As already noted, this occurs only when f is
less than or equal to 5Fh. When an offset value is used,
it must be indicated by square brackets ([ ]). As with
the extended instructions, the use of brackets indicates
to the compiler that the value is to be interpreted as an
index or an offset. Omitting the brackets, or using a
value greater than 5Fh within the brackets, will
generate an error in the MPASM Assembler.
If the index argument is properly bracketed for Indexed
Literal Offset Addressing, the Access RAM argument is
never specified; it will automatically be assumed to be
0. This is in contrast to standard operation (extended
instruction set disabled), when a is set on the basis of
the target address. Declaring the Access RAM bit in
this mode will also generate an error in the MPASM
Assembler.
The destination argument d functions as before.
In the latest versions of the MPASM Assembler,
language support for the extended instruction set must
be explicitly invoked. This is done with either the
command line option, /y, or the PE directive in the
source listing.
26.2.4
CONSIDERATIONS WHEN
ENABLING THE EXTENDED
INSTRUCTION SET
It is important to note that the extensions to the instruction set may not be beneficial to all users. In particular,
users who are not writing code that uses a software
stack may not benefit from using the extensions to the
instruction set.
Additionally, the Indexed Literal Offset Addressing
mode may create issues with legacy applications
written to the PIC18 assembler. This is because
instructions in the legacy code may attempt to address
registers in the Access Bank below 5Fh. Since these
addresses are interpreted as literal offsets to FSR2
when the instruction set extension is enabled, the
application may read or write to the wrong data
addresses.
When porting an application to the PIC18F97J60 family, it is very important to consider the type of code. A
large, reentrant application that is written in C and
would benefit from efficient compilation will do well
when using the instruction set extensions. Legacy
applications that heavily use the Access Bank will most
likely not benefit from using the extended instruction
set.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS WITH

MICROCHIP MPLAB IDE TOOLS
The latest versions of Microchips software tools have

been designed to fully support the extended instruction
set for the PIC18F97J60 family. This includes the
MPLAB C18 C Compiler, MPASM assembly language
and MPLAB Integrated Development Environment
(IDE).
When selecting a target device for software
development, MPLAB IDE will automatically set default
Configuration bits for that device. The default setting for
the XINST Configuration bit is 0, disabling the
extended instruction set and Indexed Literal Offset
Addressing. For proper execution of applications
developed to take advantage of the extended
instruction set, XINST must be set during
programming.
DS39762F-page 424
To develop software for the extended instruction set,

the user must enable support for the instructions and
the Indexed Addressing mode in their language tool(s).
Depending on the environment being used, this may be
done in several ways:
A menu option or dialog box within the
environment that allows the user to configure the
language tool and its settings for the project
A command line option
A directive in the source code
These options vary between different compilers,
assemblers and development environments. Users are
encouraged to review the documentation accompanying their development systems for the appropriate
information.

The power-down current in Sleep mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is measured with
the part in Sleep mode, with all I/O pins in high-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS, and all features that add delta
current disabled (such as WDT, Timer1 oscillator, etc.).
The supply current is mainly a function of operating voltage, frequency and mode. Other factors, such as I/O pin loading
and switching rate, oscillator type and circuit, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have an impact on
the current consumption.
The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are:
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD;
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
Standard, low-cost 32 kHz crystals have an operating temperature range of -10C to +70C. Extended temperature
crystals are available at a much higher cost.
Voltage regulator disabled (ENVREG = 0, tied to VSS).
Voltage regulator enabled (ENVREG = 1, tied to VDD).
For IETH, the specified current includes current sunk through TPOUT+ and TPOUT-. LEDA and LEDB are disabled for
all testing.

Instruction cycle period (TCY) equals four times the input oscillator time base period for all configurations
except PLL. All specified values are based on characterization data for that particular oscillator type under
standard operating conditions with the device executing code. Exceeding these specified limits may result
in an unstable oscillator operation and/or higher than expected current consumption. All devices are tested
to operate at min. values with an external clock applied to the OSC1/CLKI pin. When an external clock
input is used, the max. cycle time limit is DC (no clock) for all devices.

Time the bus must be free
before a new transmission
can start
As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region
(min. 300 ns) of the falling edge of SCLx to avoid unintended generation of Start or Stop conditions.
A Fast mode I2C bus device can be used in a Standard mode I2C bus system, but the requirement,
TSU:DAT 250 ns, must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the
LOW period of the SCLx signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCLx signal, it must
output the next data bit to the SDAx line,
TR max. + TSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the Standard mode I2C bus specification), before
the SCLx line is released.
