Note the following details of the code protection feature on PICmicro® MCUs. · · · The PICmicro family meets the specifications contained in the Microchip Data Sheet. Microchip believes that its family of PICmicro microcontrollers is one of the most secure products 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 PICmicro microcontroller in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in the data sheet. The person doing so may be 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 product.

2.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION
2.2 Data Memory Organization
There are three memory blocks in the PIC16F872. The Program Memory and Data Memory have separate buses so that concurrent access can occur. Data memory is covered in this section; the EEPROM data memory and FLASH program memory blocks are detailed in Section 3.0. Additional information on device memory may be found in the PICmicro Mid-Range Reference Manual (DS33023). The data memory is partitioned into multiple banks which contain the General Purpose Registers and the Special Function Registers. Bits RP1 (STATUS<6>) and RP0 (STATUS<5>) are the bank select bits. RP1:RP0 00 01 10 11 Bank 0 1 2 3

2.1

Program Memory Organization

The PIC16F872 has a 13-bit program counter capable of addressing an 8K word x 14 bit program memory space. The PIC16F872 device actually has 2K words of FLASH program memory. Accessing a location above the physically implemented address will cause a wraparound. The RESET vector is at 0000h and the interrupt vector is at 0004h.

Each bank extends up to 7Fh (128 bytes). The lower locations of each bank are reserved for the Special Function Registers. Above the Special Function Registers are General Purpose Registers, implemented as static RAM. All implemented banks contain Special Function Registers. Some frequently used Special Function Registers from one bank may be mirrored in another bank for code reduction and quicker access. Note: EEPROM Data Memory description can be found in Section 4.0 of this data sheet.

2.2.2 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers are registers used by the CPU and peripheral modules for controlling the desired operation of the device. These registers are implemented as static RAM. A list of these registers is given in Table 2-1. The Special Function Registers can be classified into two sets: core (CPU) and peripheral. Those registers associated with the core functions are described in detail in this section. Those related to the operation of the peripheral features are described in detail in the peripheral feature section.

2.2.2.1 STATUS Register
The STATUS register contains the arithmetic status of the ALU, the RESET status and the bank select bits for data memory. The STATUS register can be the destination for any instruction, as with any other register. If the STATUS register is the destination for an instruction that affects the Z, DC or C bits, then the write to these three bits is disabled. These bits are set or cleared according to the device logic. Furthermore, the TO and PD bits are not writable, therefore, the result of an instruction with the STATUS register as destination may be different than intended. For example, CLRF STATUS will clear the upper three bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the STATUS register as 000u u1uu (where u = unchanged). It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF, SWAPF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the STATUS register, because these instructions do not affect the Z, C or DC bits from the STATUS register. For other instructions not affecting any status bits, see the "Instruction Set Summary." Note: The C and DC bits operate as a borrow and digit borrow bit, respectively, in subtraction. See the SUBLW and SUBWF instructions for examples.

2.3 PCL and PCLATH
2.3.2 STACK
The program counter (PC) is 13-bits wide. The low byte comes from the PCL register, which is a readable and writable register. The upper bits (PC<12:8>) are not readable, but are indirectly writable through the PCLATH register. On any RESET, the upper bits of the PC will be cleared. Figure 2-3 shows the two situations for the loading of the PC. The upper example in the figure shows how the PC is loaded on a write to PCL (PCLATH<4:0> PCH). The lower example in the figure shows how the PC is loaded during a CALL or GOTO instruction (PCLATH<4:3> PCH). The PIC16FXXX family has an 8-level deep x 13-bit wide hardware stack. The stack space is not part of either program or data space and the stack pointer is not readable or writable. The PC is PUSHed onto the stack when a CALL instruction is executed or an interrupt causes a branch. The stack is POPed in the event of a RETURN, RETLW or a RETFIE instruction execution. PCLATH is not affected by a PUSH or POP operation. The stack operates as a circular buffer. This means that after the stack has been PUSHed eight times, the ninth push overwrites the value that was stored from the first push. The tenth push overwrites the second push (and so on). Note 1: There are no status bits to indicate stack overflow or stack underflow conditions.

Program Memory Paging

2.3.1

COMPUTED GOTO

A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset to the program counter (ADDWF PCL). When doing a table read using a computed GOTO method, care should be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL memory boundary (each 256 byte block). Refer to the Application Note, "Implementing a Table Read" (AN556).

All PIC16FXXX devices are capable of addressing a continuous 8K word block of program memory. The CALL and GOTO instructions provide only 11 bits of address to allow branching within any 2K program memory page. When doing a CALL or GOTO instruction, the upper 2 bits of the address are provided by PCLATH<4:3>. Since the PIC16F872 has only 2K words of program memory or one page, additional code is not required to ensure that the correct page is selected before a CALL or GOTO instruction is executed. The PCLATH<4:3> bits should always be maintained as zeros. If a return from a CALL instruction (or interrupt) is executed, the entire 13-bit PC is popped off the stack. Therefore, manipulation of the PCLATH<4:3> bits are not required for the return instructions (which POPs the address from the stack). Note: The contents of the PCLATH register are unchanged after a RETURN or RETFIE instruction is executed. The user must rewrite the contents of the PCLATH register for any subsequent subroutine calls or GOTO instructions.

2.5 Indirect Addressing, INDF and FSR Registers
A simple program to clear RAM locations 20h-2Fh using indirect addressing is shown in Example 2-1.

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

3.0 DATA EEPROM AND FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
The EEPROM Data memory allows byte read and write operations without interfering with the normal operation of the microcontroller. When interfacing to EEPROM Data memory, the EEADR register holds the address to be accessed. Depending on the operation, the EEDATA register holds the data to be written or the data read at the address in EEADR. The PIC16F872 has 64 bytes of EEPROM Data memory and therefore, requires that the two Most Significant bits of EEADR remain clear. EEPROM Data memory on these devices wraps around to 0 (i.e., 40h in the EEADR maps to 00h). The FLASH Program memory allows non-intrusive read access, but write operations cause the device to stop executing instructions until the write completes. When interfacing to the Program memory, the EEADRH:EEADR registers pair forms a two-byte word which holds the 13-bit address of the memory location being accessed. The EEDATH:EEDATA register pair holds the 14-bit data for writes or reflects the value of program memory after a read operation. Just as in EEPROM Data memory accesses, the value of the EEADRH:EEADR registers must be within the valid range of program memory, depending on the device (0000h to 07FFh). Addresses outside of this range wrap around to 0000h (i.e., 0800h maps to 0000h).

The Data EEPROM and FLASH Program Memory are readable and writable during normal operation over the entire VDD range. These operations take place on a single byte for Data EEPROM memory and a single word for Program memory. A write operation causes an erase-then-write operation to take place on the specified byte or word. A bulk erase operation may not be issued from user code (which includes removing code protection). Access to program memory allows for checksum calculation. The values written to Program memory do not need to be valid instructions. Therefore, numbers of up to 14 bits can be stored in memory for use as calibration parameters, serial numbers, packed 7-bit ASCII, etc. Executing a program memory location, containing data that forms an invalid instruction, results in the execution of a NOP instruction. The EEPROM Data memory is rated for high erase/ write cycles (specification #D120). The FLASH Program memory is rated much lower (specification #D130) because EEPROM Data memory can be used to store frequently updated values. An on-chip timer controls the write time and it will vary with voltage and temperature, as well as from chip to chip. Please refer to the specifications for exact limits (specifications #D122 and #D133). A byte or word write automatically erases the location and writes the new value (erase before write). Writing to EEPROM Data memory does not impact the operation of the device. Writing to Program memory will cease the execution of instructions until the write is complete. The program memory cannot be accessed during the write. During the write operation, the oscillator continues to run, the peripherals continue to function and interrupt events will be detected and essentially "queued" until the write is complete. When the write completes, the next instruction in the pipeline is executed and the branch to the interrupt vector will take place if the interrupt is enabled and occurred during the write. Read and write access to both memories take place indirectly through a set of Special Function Registers (SFR). The six SFRs used are: · · · · · · EEDATA EEDATH EEADR EEADRH EECON1 EECON2

3.1

EECON1 and EECON2 Registers

The EECON1 register is the control register for configuring and initiating the access. The EECON2 register is not a physically implemented register, but is used exclusively in the memory write sequence to prevent inadvertent writes. There are many bits used to control the read and write operations to EEPROM Data and FLASH Program memory. The EEPGD bit determines if the access will be a program or data memory access. When clear, any subsequent operations will work on the EEPROM Data memory. When set, all subsequent operations will operate in the Program memory. Read operations only use one additional bit, RD, which initiates the read operation from the desired memory location. Once this bit is set, the value of the desired memory location will be available in the data registers. This bit cannot be cleared by firmware. It is automatically cleared at the end of the read operation. For EEPROM Data memory reads, the data will be available in the EEDATA register in the very next instruction cycle after the RD bit is set. For program memory reads, the data will be loaded into the EEDATH:EEDATA registers, following the second instruction after the RD bit is set.

Write operations have two control bits, WR and WREN, and two status bits, WRERR and EEIF. The WREN bit is used to enable or disable the write operation. When WREN is clear, the write operation will be disabled. Therefore, the WREN bit must be set before executing a write operation. The WR bit is used to initiate the write operation. It also is automatically cleared at the end of the write operation. The interrupt flag EEIF (located in register PIR2) is used to determine when the memory write completes. This flag must be cleared in software before setting the WR bit. For EEPROM Data memory, once the WREN bit and the WR bit have been set, the desired memory address in EEADR will be erased followed by a write of the data in EEDATA. This operation takes place in parallel with the microcontroller continuing to execute normally. When the write is complete, the EEIF flag bit will be set. For program memory, once the WREN bit and the WR bit have been set, the microcontroller will cease to execute instructions. The desired memory location pointed to by EEADRH:EEADR will be erased. Then the data value in EEDATH:EEDATA will be programmed. When complete, the EEIF flag bit will be set and the microcontroller will continue to execute code. The WRERR bit is used to indicate when the device has been RESET during a write operation. WRERR should be cleared after Power-on Reset. Thereafter, it should be checked on any other RESET. The WRERR bit is set when a write operation is interrupted by a MCLR Reset or a WDT Time-out Reset during normal operation. In these situations, following a RESET, the user should check the WRERR bit and rewrite the memory location if set. The contents of the data registers, address registers and EEPGD bit are not affected by either MCLR Reset or WDT Time-out Reset during normal operation.

3.2 Reading the EEPROM Data Memory
Reading EEPROM Data memory only requires that the desired address to access be written to the EEADR register and clear the EEPGD bit. After the RD bit is set, data will be available in the EEDATA register on the very next instruction cycle. EEDATA will hold this value until another read operation is initiated or until it is written by firmware. The steps to reading the EEPROM Data Memory are: 1. Write the address to EEDATA. Make sure that the address is not larger than the memory size of the device. Clear the EEPGD bit to point to EEPROM Data memory. Set the RD bit to start the read operation. Read the data from the EEDATA register. should be kept clear at all times, except when writing to the EEPROM Data. The WR bit can only be set if the WREN bit was set in a previous operation, i.e., they both cannot be set in the same operation. The WREN bit should then be cleared by firmware after the write. Clearing the WREN bit before the write actually completes will not terminate the write in progress. Writes to EEPROM Data memory must also be prefaced with a special sequence of instructions that prevent inadvertent write operations. This is a sequence of five instructions that must be executed without interruption for each byte written. The steps to write to program memory are: 1. Write the address to EEADR. Make sure that the address is not larger than the memory size of the device. Write the 8-bit data value to be programmed in the EEDATA registers. Clear the EEPGD bit to point to EEPROM Data memory. Set the WREN bit to enable program operations. Disable interrupts (if enabled). Execute the special five instruction sequence: · Write 55h to EECON2 in two steps (first to W, then to EECON2) · Write AAh to EECON2 in two steps (first to W, then to EECON2) · Set the WR bit Enable interrupts (if using interrupts). Clear the WREN bit to disable program operations. At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is cleared and the EEIF interrupt flag bit is set. (EEIF must be cleared by firmware). Firmware may check for EEIF to be set or WR to clear to indicate end of program cycle.

3.4 Reading the FLASH Program Memory
The steps to reading the FLASH Program Memory are: 1. Write the address to EEADRH:EEADR. Make sure that the address is not larger than the memory size of the device. Set the EEPGD bit to point to FLASH Program memory. Set the RD bit to start the read operation. Execute two NOP instructions to allow the microcontroller to read out of program memory. Read the data from the EEDATH:EEDATA registers. Reading FLASH Program memory is much like that of EEPROM Data memory, only two NOP instructions must be inserted after the RD bit is set. These two instruction cycles that the NOP instructions execute will be used by the microcontroller to read the data out of program memory and insert the value into the EEDATH:EEDATA registers. Data will be available following the second NOP instruction. EEDATH and EEDATA will hold their value until another read operation is initiated, or until they are written by firmware.

Writing to the FLASH Program Memory

Writing to FLASH Program memory is unique in that the microcontroller does not execute instructions while programming is taking place. The oscillator continues to run and all peripherals continue to operate and queue interrupts, if enabled. Once the write operation completes (specification #D133), the processor begins executing code from where it left off. The other important difference when writing to FLASH Program memory is that the WRT configuration bit, when clear, prevents any writes to program memory (see Table 3-1). Just like EEPROM Data memory, there are many steps in writing to the FLASH Program memory. Both address and data values must be written to the SFRs. The EEPGD bit must be set and the WREN bit must be set to enable writes. The WREN bit should be kept

clear at all times, except when writing to the FLASH Program memory. The WR bit can only be set if the WREN bit was set in a previous operation, i.e., they both cannot be set in the same operation. The WREN bit should then be cleared by firmware after the write. Clearing the WREN bit before the write actually completes will not terminate the write in progress. Writes to program memory must also be prefaced with a special sequence of instructions that prevent inadvertent write operations. This is a sequence of five instructions that must be executed without interruption for each byte written. These instructions must then be followed by two NOP instructions to allow the microcontroller to setup for the write operation. Once the write is complete, the execution of instructions starts with the instruction after the second NOP.

The steps to write to program memory are: 1. Write the address to EEADRH:EEADR. Make sure that the address is not larger than the memory size of the device. Write the 14-bit data value to be programmed in the EEDATH:EEDATA registers. Set the EEPGD bit to point to FLASH Program memory. Set the WREN bit to enable program operations. Disable interrupts (if enabled). Execute the special five instruction sequence: · Write 55h to EECON2 in two steps (first to W, then to EECON2) · Write AAh to EECON2 in two steps (first to W, then to EECON2) · Set the WR bit Execute two NOP instructions to allow the microcontroller to setup for write operation. Enable interrupts (if using interrupts). Clear the WREN bit to disable program operations.

2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is cleared and the EEIF interrupt flag bit is set. (EEIF must be cleared by firmware). Since the microcontroller does not execute instructions during the write cycle, the firmware does not necessarily have to check either EEIF or WR to determine if the write had finished.

Write Verify

3.7

Protection Against Spurious Writes

The PIC16F87X devices do not automatically verify the value written during a write operation. Depending on the application, good programming practice may dictate that the value written to memory be verified against the original value. This should be used in applications where excessive writes can stress bits near the specified endurance limits.

There are conditions when the device may not want to write to the EEPROM Data memory or FLASH program memory. To protect against these spurious write conditions various mechanisms have been built into the device. On power-up, the WREN bit is cleared and the Power-up Timer (if enabled) prevents writes. The write initiate sequence and the WREN bit together help prevent any accidental writes during brown-out, power glitches or firmware malfunction.
