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

Note: When using resonators with frequencies

above 3.5 MHz, the use of HS mode,
rather than XT mode, is recommended.
HS mode may be used at any VDD for
which the controller is rated. If HS is
selected, it is possible that the gain of the
oscillator will overdrive the resonator.
Therefore, a series resistor should be
placed between the OSC2 pin and the
resonator. As a good starting point, the
recommended value of RS is 330Ω.

4.6 Reset State of Registers Table 4-4 describes the Reset states for all of the
Special Function Registers. These are categorized by
Most registers are unaffected by a Reset. Their status Power-on and Brown-out Resets, Master Clear and
is unknown on POR and unchanged by all other WDT Resets and WDT wake-ups.
Resets. The other registers are forced to a “Reset
state” depending on the type of Reset that occurred.
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, RI, TO,
PD, POR and BOR, are set or cleared differently in
different Reset situations, as indicated in Table 4-3.
These bits are used in software to determine the nature
of the Reset.

Legend: u = unchanged, x = unknown, - = unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’, q = value depends on condition.
Shaded cells indicate conditions do not apply for the designated device.
Note 1: One or more bits in the INTCONx or PIRx registers will be affected (to cause wake-up).
2: When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the PC is loaded with the interrupt
vector (0008h or 0018h).
3: When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the TOSU, TOSH and TOSL are
updated with the current value of the PC. The STKPTR is modified to point to the next location in the
hardware stack.
4: See Table 4-3 for Reset value for specific condition.
5: Bits 6 and 7 of PORTA, LATA and TRISA are enabled, depending on the oscillator mode selected. When
not enabled as PORTA pins, they are disabled and read ‘0’.
6: This register reads all ‘0’s until the ECAN™ technology is set up in Mode 1 or Mode 2.

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

Note 1: Bit 21 of the PC is only available in Test mode and Serial Programming modes.
2: The SBOREN bit is only available when CONFIG2L<1:0> = 01; otherwise, it is disabled and reads as ‘0’. See Section 4.4 “Brown-out Reset
(BOR)”.
3: These registers and/or bits are not implemented on PIC18F2X8X devices and are read as ‘0’. Reset values are shown for PIC18F4X8X
devices; individual unimplemented bits should be interpreted as ‘—’.
4: The PLLEN bit is only available in specific oscillator configuration; otherwise, it is disabled and reads as ‘0’. See Section 2.6.4 “PLL in
INTOSC Modes”.
5: The RE3 bit is only available when Master Clear Reset is disabled (CONFIG3H<7> = 0); otherwise, RE3 reads as ‘0’. This bit is read-only.
6: RA6/RA7 and their associated latch and direction bits are individually configured as port pins based on various primary oscillator modes.
When disabled, these bits read as ‘0’.
7: CAN bits have multiple functions depending on the selected mode of the CAN module.
9: These registers are available on PIC18F4X8X devices only.

1 = Result was negative
0 = Result was positive
bit 3 OV: Overflow bit
This bit is used for signed arithmetic (2’s complement). It indicates an overflow of the 7-bit

Table operations work with byte entities. A table block

“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
user’s application, other registers may also need to be
saved. Example 9-1 saves and restores the WREG,
STATUS and BSR registers during an Interrupt Service
Routine.

2. Set the PWM period by loading the PR2 register.
3. Configure the ECCP1 module for the desired
PWM mode and configuration by loading the
ECCP1CON register with the appropriate
values:
• Select one of the available output
configurations and direction with the
EPWM1M1:EPWM1M0 bits.
• Select the polarities of the PWM output
signals with the ECCP1M3:ECCP1M0 bits.
4. Set the PWM duty cycle by loading the
ECCPR1L register and ECCP1CON<5:4> bits.
5. For Half-Bridge Output mode, set the
dead-band delay by loading ECCP1DEL<6:0>
with the appropriate value.
6. If auto-shutdown operation is required, load the
ECCP1AS register:
• Select the auto-shutdown sources using the
ECCPAS2:ECCPAS0 bits.
• Select the shutdown states of the PWM
output pins using PSSAC1:PSSAC0 and
PSSBD1:PSSBD0 bits.
• Set the ECCPASE bit (ECCP1AS<7>).
• Configure the comparators using the CMCON
register.
• Configure the comparator inputs as analog
inputs.
7. If auto-restart operation is required, set the
PRSEN bit (ECCP1DEL<7>).
8. Configure and start TMR2:
• Clear the TMR2 interrupt flag bit by clearing
the TMR2IF bit (PIR1<1>).
• Set the TMR2 prescale value by loading the
T2CKPS bits (T2CON<1:0>).
• Enable Timer2 by setting the TMR2ON bit
(T2CON<2>).
9. Enable PWM outputs after a new PWM cycle
has started:
• Wait until TMRn overflows (TMRnIF bit is set).
• Enable the ECCP1/P1A, P1B, P1C and/or
P1D pin outputs by clearing the respective
TRIS bits.
• Clear the ECCPASE bit (ECCP1AS<7>).

17.4.4.2 Clock Stretching for 10-bit Slave

Receive Mode (SEN = 1)
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
SSPADD. 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 SSPADD register before the
falling edge of the ninth clock occurs and if
the user hasn’t cleared the BF bit by read-
ing the SSPBUF register before that time,
then the CKP bit will still NOT be asserted

state of the BF bit only occurs during a
data sequence, not an address sequence.

EXAMPLE 18-1: 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 ([SPBRGH:SPBRG] + 1)
Solving for SPBRGH:SPBRG:
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%

EXAMPLE 23-5: READING A CAN MESSAGE

; Need to read a pending message from RXB0 buffer.
; To receive any message, filter, mask and RXM1:RXM0 bits in RXB0CON registers must be
; programmed correctly.
;
; Make sure that there is a message pending in RXB0.
BTFSS RXB0CON, RXFUL ; Does RXB0 contain a message?
BRA NoMessage ; No. Handle this situation...
; We have verified that a message is pending in RXB0 buffer.
; If this buffer can receive both Standard or Extended Identifier messages,
; identify type of message received.
BTFSS RXB0SIDL, EXID ; Is this Extended Identifier?
BRA StandardMessage ; No. This is Standard Identifier message.
; Yes. This is Extended Identifier message.
; Read all 29-bits of Extended Identifier message.
...
; Now read all data bytes
MOVFF RXB0DO, MY_DATA_BYTE1
...
; Once entire message is read, mark the RXB0 that it is read and no longer FULL.
BCF RXB0CON, RXFUL ; This will allow CAN Module to load new messages
; into this buffer.

phase error is defined in magnitude of TQ as follows:
• e = 0 if the edge lies within Sync_Seg.
• e > 0 if the edge lies before the sample point.
• e < 0 if the edge lies after the sample point of the

desired, using 20 MHz for FOSC. With a TOSC of 50 ns,
a baud rate prescaler value of 04h gives a TQ of 500 ns.
To obtain a Nominal Bit Rate of 125 kHz, the Nominal
Bit Time must be 8 μs or 16 TQ.
Using 1 TQ for the Sync_Seg, 2 TQ for the Prop_Seg
and 7 TQ for Phase Segment 1 would place the sample
point at 10 TQ after the transition. This leaves 6 TQ for
Phase Segment 2.
By the rules above, the Sync Jump Width could be the
maximum of 4 TQ. However, normally a large SJW is
only necessary when the clock generation of the differ-
ent nodes is inaccurate or unstable, such as using
ceramic resonators. Typically, an SJW of 1 is enough.

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 input and is
driven low by an external device, the data will be written back with a ‘0’.
2: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and where applicable, ‘d’ = 1), the prescaler will be cleared
if assigned.
3: 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.
4: 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.
5: If the table write starts the write cycle to internal memory, the write will continue until terminated.

Note 1: Power dissipation is calculated as follows:

Pdis = VDD x {IDD – ∑ IOH} + ∑ {(VDD – VOH) x IOH} + ∑(VOL x IOL)
2: Voltage spikes below VSS at the MCLR/VPP pin, inducing currents greater than 80 mA, may cause latch-up.
Thus, a series resistor of 50-100Ω should be used when applying a “low” level to the MCLR/VPP/RE3 pin,
rather than pulling this pin directly to VSS.
† NOTICE: Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the
device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those
indicated in the operation listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability.

2: 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 SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must out-
put the next data bit to the SDA line,
TR max. + TSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the Standard mode I2C bus specification), before
the SCL line is released.

Note 1: The A/D conversion result never decreases with an increase in the input voltage and has no missing codes.
2: When A/D is off, it will not consume any current other than minor leakage current. The power-down current
spec includes any such leakage from the A/D module.
3: VREFH current is from RA3/AN3/VREF+ pin or AVDD, whichever is selected as the VREFH source.
VREFL current is from RA2/AN2/VREF- pin or AVSS, whichever is selected as the VREFL source.
