GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PIC16F526 device from Microchip Technology is
low-cost, high-performance, 8-bit, fully-static, Flashbased CMOS microcontrollers. It employs a RISC
architecture with only 33 single-word/single-cycle
instructions. All instructions are single cycle (200 s)
except for program branches, which take two cycles.
The PIC16F526 device delivers performance an order
of magnitude higher than their competitors in the same
price category. The 12-bit wide instructions are highly
symmetrical, resulting in a typical 2:1 code
compression over other 8-bit microcontrollers in its
class. The easy-to-use and easy to remember
instruction set reduces development time significantly.
The PIC16F526 product is equipped with special
features that reduce system cost and power
requirements. The Power-on Reset (POR) and Device
Reset Timer (DRT) eliminate the need for external
Reset circuitry. There are four oscillator configurations
to choose from, including INTRC Internal Oscillator
mode and the power-saving LP (Low-Power) Oscillator
mode. Power-Saving Sleep mode, Watchdog Timer
and code protection features improve system cost,
power and reliability.
1.1
Applications
The PIC16F526 device fits in applications ranging from
personal care appliances and security systems to lowpower remote transmitters/receivers. The Flash
technology makes customizing application programs
(transmitter codes, appliance settings, receiver
frequencies, etc.) extremely fast and convenient. The
small footprint packages, for through hole or surface
mounting, make these microcontrollers perfect for
applications with space limitations. Low cost, low
power, high performance, ease of use and I/O flexibility
make the PIC16F526 device very versatile even in
areas where no microcontroller use has been
considered before (e.g., timer functions, logic and
PLDs in larger systems and coprocessor applications).
The PIC16F526 device is available in the cost-effective
Flash programmable version, which is suitable for
production in any volume. The customer can take full
advantage of Microchip’s price leadership in Flash
programmable microcontrollers, while benefiting from
the Flash programmable flexibility.
The PIC16F526 product is supported by a full-featured
macro assembler, a software simulator, an in-circuit
emulator, a ‘C’ compiler, a low-cost development
programmer and a full featured programmer. All the
tools are supported on IBM® PC and compatible
machines.

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

ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW
The high performance of the PIC16F526 device can
be attributed to a number of architectural features
commonly found in RISC microprocessors. To begin
with, the PIC16F526 device uses a Harvard
architecture in which program and data are accessed
on separate buses. This improves bandwidth over
traditional von Neumann architectures where program
and data are fetched on the same bus. Separating
program and data memory further allows instructions
to be sized differently than the 8-bit wide data word.
Instruction opcodes are 12 bits wide, making it
possible to have all single-word instructions. A 12-bit
wide program memory access bus fetches a 12-bit
instruction in a single cycle. A two-stage pipeline
overlaps fetch and execution of instructions.
Consequently, all instructions (33) execute in a single
cycle (200 ns @ 20 MHz, 1 s @ 4 MHz) except for
program branches.
The PIC16F526 device contains an 8-bit ALU and
working register. The ALU is a general purpose arithmetic unit. It performs arithmetic and Boolean functions
between data in the working register and any register
file.
The ALU is 8 bits wide and capable of addition, subtraction, shift and logical operations. Unless otherwise
mentioned, arithmetic operations are two’s complement in nature. In two-operand instructions, one
operand is typically the W (working) register. The other
operand is either a file register or an immediate
constant. In single operand instructions, the operand is
either the W register or a file register.
The W register is an 8-bit working register used for ALU
operations. It is not an addressable register.
Table 3-1 below lists memory supported by the
PIC16F526 device.
Depending on the instruction executed, the ALU may
affect the values of the Carry (C), Digit Carry (DC) and
Zero (Z) bits in the STATUS register. The C and DC bits
operate as a borrow and digit borrow out bit,
respectively, in subtraction. See the SUBWF and ADDWF
instructions for examples.

A simplified block diagram is shown in Figure 3-2, with
the corresponding device pins described in Table 3-2.

The PIC16F526 device can directly or indirectly
address its register files and data memory. All Special
Function Registers (SFR), including the PC, are
mapped in the data memory. The PIC16F526 device
has a highly orthogonal (symmetrical) instruction set
that makes it possible to carry out any operation, on
any register, using any Addressing mode. This symmetrical nature and lack of “special optimal situations”
make programming with the PIC16F526 device simple,
yet efficient. In addition, the learning curve is reduced
significantly.

Clocking Scheme/Instruction
Cycle
3.2
Instruction Flow/Pipelining
An instruction cycle consists of four Q cycles (Q1, Q2,
Q3 and Q4). The instruction fetch and execute are
pipelined such that fetch takes one instruction cycle,
while decode and execute take another instruction
cycle. However, due to the pipelining, each instruction
effectively executes in one cycle. If an instruction
causes the PC to change (e.g., GOTO), then two cycles
are required to complete the instruction (Example 3-1).
The clock input (OSC1/CLKIN pin) is internally divided
by four to generate four non-overlapping quadrature
clocks, namely Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4. Internally, the PC
is incremented every Q1 and the instruction is fetched
from program memory and latched into the instruction
register in Q4. It is decoded and executed during the
following Q1 through Q4. The clocks and instruction
execution flow is shown in Figure 3-2 and Example 3-1.
A fetch cycle begins with the 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).

All instructions are single cycle, except for any program branches. These take two cycles, since the fetch instruction
is “flushed” from the pipeline, while the new instruction is being fetched and then executed.

Program Memory Organization for
the PIC16F526
The PIC16F526 device has an 11-bit Program Counter
(PC) capable of addressing a 2K x 12 program memory
space. Program memory is partitioned into user memory,
data memory and configuration memory spaces.
The user memory space is the on-chip user program
memory. As shown in Figure 4-1, it extends from 0x000
to 0x3FF and partitions into pages, including Reset
vector at address 0x3FF.
User Memory
Space
The PIC16F526 memories are organized into program
memory and data memory (SRAM).The self-writable
portion of the program memory called Flash data
memory is located at addresses at 400h-43Fh. All
Program mode commands that work on the normal
Flash memory work on the Flash data memory. This
includes bulk erase, row/column/cycling toggles, Load
and Read data commands (Refer to Section 5.0
“Flash Data Memory Control” for more details). For
devices with more than 512 bytes of program memory,
a paging scheme is used. Program memory pages are
accessed using one STATUS register bit. For the
PIC16F526, with data memory register files of more
than 32 registers, a banking scheme is used. Data
memory banks are accessed using the File Select
Register (FSR).

Data Memory (SRAM and FSRs)
4.2.1
Data memory is composed of registers or bytes of
SRAM. Therefore, data memory for a device is
specified by its register file. The register file is divided
into two functional groups: Special Function Registers
(SFR) and General Purpose Registers (GPR).
The General Purpose Register file is accessed, either
directly or indirectly, through the File Select Register
(FSR). See Section 4.8 “Indirect Data Addressing:
INDF and FSR Registers”.
The Special Function Registers are registers used by
the CPU and peripheral functions for controlling
desired operations of the PIC16F526. See Figure 4-1
for details.
4.2.2
The Special Function Registers can be classified into
two sets. The Special Function Registers associated
with the “core” functions are described in this section.
Those related to the operation of the peripheral
features are described in the section for each
peripheral feature.

STATUS Register
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).
This register contains the arithmetic status of the ALU,
the Reset status and the page preselect bit.
Therefore, it is recommended that only BCF, BSF and
MOVWF instructions be used to alter the STATUS
register. These instructions do not affect the Z, DC or C
bits from the STATUS register. For other instructions
which do affect Status bits, see Section 12.0
“Instruction Set Summary”.
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.

Program Counter
4.6.1
EFFECTS OF RESET
As a program instruction is executed, the Program
Counter (PC) will contain the address of the next
program instruction to be executed. The PC value is
increased by one every instruction cycle, unless an
instruction changes the PC.
The PC is set upon a Reset, which means that the PC
addresses the last location in the last page (i.e., the
oscillator calibration instruction). After executing
MOVLW XX, the PC will roll over to location 00h and
begin executing user code.
For a GOTO instruction, bits 8:0 of the PC are provided
by the GOTO instruction word. The Program Counter
(PCL) is mapped to PC. Bit 5 of the STATUS
register provides page information to bit 9 of the PC
(Figure 4-3).
The STATUS register page preselect bits are cleared
upon a Reset, which means that page 0 is pre-selected.
For a CALL instruction, or any instruction where the
PCL is the destination, bits 7:0 of the PC again are
provided by the instruction word. However, PC
does not come from the instruction word, but is always
cleared (Figure 4-3).
Instructions where the PCL is the destination, or modify
PCL instructions, include MOVWF PCL, ADDWF PCL
and BSF PCL,5.
Note:
Because bit 8 of the PC is cleared in the
CALL instruction or any modify PCL
instruction, all subroutine calls or computed jumps are limited to the first 256
locations of any program memory page
(512 words long).

Stack
The PIC16F526 device has a 2-deep, 12-bit wide
hardware PUSH/POP stack.
A CALL instruction will PUSH the current value of Stack 1
into Stack 2 and then PUSH the current PC value, incremented by one, into Stack Level 1. If more than two
sequential CALLs are executed, only the most recent two
return addresses are stored.
A RETLW instruction will POP the contents of Stack
Level 1 into the PC and then copy Stack Level 2
contents into Stack Level 1. If more than two sequential
RETLWs are executed, the stack will be filled with the
address previously stored in Stack Level 2. Note that
the W register will be loaded with the literal value
specified in the instruction. This is particularly useful for
the implementation of data look-up tables within the
program memory.
Note 1: There are no Status bits to indicate Stack
Overflows or Stack Underflow conditions.
2: There are no instruction mnemonics
called PUSH or POP. These are actions
that occur from the execution of the CALL
and RETLW instructions.

Therefore, upon a Reset, a GOTO instruction will
automatically cause the program to jump to page 0 until

Indirect Data Addressing: INDF
and FSR Registers
A simple program to clear RAM locations 10h-1Fh
using indirect addressing is shown in Example 4-1.
The INDF Register is not a physical register.
Addressing INDF actually addresses the register
whose address is contained in the FSR Register (FSR
is a pointer). This is indirect addressing.
EXAMPLE 4-1:
Reading INDF itself indirectly (FSR = 0) will produce
00h. Writing to the INDF Register indirectly results in a
no-operation (although Status bits may be affected).

The FSR is an 8-bit wide register. It is used in

FLASH DATA MEMORY
CONTROL
The Flash data memory is readable and writable during
normal operation (full VDD range). This memory is not
directly mapped in the register file space. Instead, it is
indirectly addressed through the Special Function
Registers (SFRs).
5.1
Reading Flash Data Memory
To read a Flash data memory location the user must:
• Write the EEADR register
• Set the RD bit of the EECON register
The value written to the EEADR register determines
which Flash data memory location is read. Setting the
RD bit of the EECON register initiates the read. Data
from the Flash data memory read is available in the
EEDATA register immediately. The EEDATA register
will hold this value until another read is initiated or it is
modified by a write operation. Program execution is
suspended while the read cycle is in progress.
Execution will continue with the instruction following the
one that sets the WR bit. See Example 1 for sample
code.
EXAMPLE 1:

MOVWF EEADR
;Data Memory

;EE Read
MOVF EEDATA, W
;W = EEDATA
Note: Only a BSF command will work to enable the
Flash data memory read documented in
Example 1. No other sequence of
commands will work, no exceptions.
5.2
Writing and Erasing Flash Data
Memory
Flash data memory is erased one row at a time and
written one byte at a time. The 64-byte array is made
up of eight rows. A row contains eight sequential bytes.
Row boundaries exist every eight bytes.
Generally, the procedure to write a byte of data to Flash
data memory is:
1.
2.
Identify the row containing the address where
the byte will be written.
If there is other information in that row that must
be saved, copy those bytes from Flash data
memory to RAM.
2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
3.
4.
Perform a row erase of the row of interest.
Write the new byte of data and any saved bytes
back to the appropriate addresses in Flash data
memory.
To prevent accidental corruption of the Flash data
memory, an unlock sequence is required to initiate a
write or erase cycle. This sequence requires that the bit
set instructions used to configure the EECON register
happen exactly as shown in Example 2 and Example 3,
depending on the operation requested.
5.2.1
ERASING FLASH DATA MEMORY
A row must be manually erased before writing new
data. The following sequence must be performed for a
single row erase.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Load EEADR with an address in the row to be
erased.
Set the FREE bit to enable the erase.
Set the WREN bit to enable write access to the
array.
Set the WR bit to initiate the erase cycle.
If the WREN bit is not set in the instruction cycle after
the FREE bit is set, the FREE bit will be cleared in
hardware.
If the WR bit is not set in the instruction cycle after the
WREN bit is set, the WREN bit will be cleared in
hardware.
Sample code that follows this procedure is included in
Example 2.
Program execution is suspended while the erase cycle
is in progress. Execution will continue with the
instruction following the one that sets the WR bit.

Note 1: The FREE bit may be set by any command normally used by the core. However, the WREN and WR bits can only be
set using a series of BSF commands, as
documented in Example 1. No other
sequence of commands will work, no
exceptions.
2: Bits of the EEADR register indicate
which row is to be erased.
DS41326E-page 23
PIC16F526
5.2.2
WRITING TO FLASH DATA
MEMORY
Note 1: Only a series of BSF commands will work
to enable the memory write sequence
documented in Example 2. No other
sequence of commands will work, no
exceptions.
Once a cell is erased, new data can be written.
Program execution is suspended during the write cycle.
The following sequence must be performed for a single
byte write.
1.
2.
3.
4.
2: For reads, erases and writes to the Flash
data memory, there is no need to insert a
NOP into the user code as is done on midrange devices. The instruction immediately
following the “BSF EECON,WR/RD” will be
fetched and executed properly.
Load EEADR with the address.
Load EEDATA with the data to write.
Set the WREN bit to enable write access to the
array.
Set the WR bit to initiate the erase cycle.
If the WR bit is not set in the instruction cycle after the
WREN bit is set, the WREN bit will be cleared in
hardware.
Sample code that follows this procedure is included in
Example 3.

I/O PORT
6.2
PORTC is a 6-bit I/O register. Only the low-order 6 bits
are used (RC). Bits 7 and 6 are unimplemented
and read as ‘0’s.
As with any other register, the I/O register(s) can be
written and read under program control. However, read
instructions (e.g., MOVF PORTB,W) always read the I/O
pins independent of the pin’s Input/Output modes. On
Reset, all I/O ports are defined as input (inputs are at highimpedance) since the I/O control registers are all set.
6.1
6.3
TRIS Register
The Output Driver Control register is loaded with the
contents of the W register by executing the TRIS f
instruction. A ‘1’ from a TRIS register bit puts the
corresponding output driver in a High-Impedance
mode. A ‘0’ puts the contents of the output data latch
on the selected pins, enabling the output buffer. The
exceptions are RB3, which is input-only and the T0CKI
pin, which may be controlled by the OPTION register.
See Register 4-2.
PORTB
PORTB is a 6-bit I/O register. Only the low-order 6 bits
are used (RB). Bits 7 and 6 are unimplemented
and read as ‘0’s. Please note that RB3 is an input-only
pin. The Configuration Word can set several I/O’s to
alternate functions. When acting as alternate functions,
the pins will read as ‘0’ during a port read. Pins RB0,
RB1, RB3 and RB4 can be configured with weak pullups and also for wake-up on change. The wake-up on
change and weak pull-up functions are not pin
selectable. If RB3/MCLR is configured as MCLR, weak
pull-up is always on and wake-up on change for this pin
is not enabled.

EXTERNAL CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
CIRCUIT
Either a prepackaged oscillator or a simple oscillator
circuit with TTL gates can be used as an external
crystal oscillator circuit. Prepackaged oscillators
provide a wide operating range and better stability. A
well-designed crystal oscillator will provide good
performance with TTL gates. Two types of crystal
oscillator circuits can be used: one with parallel
resonance, or one with series resonance.
Figure 8-3 shows implementation of a parallel resonant
oscillator circuit. The circuit is designed to use the
fundamental frequency of the crystal. The 74AS04
inverter performs the 180-degree phase shift that a
parallel oscillator requires. The 4.7 k resistor provides
the negative feedback for stability. The 10 k
potentiometers bias the 74AS04 in the linear region.
This circuit could be used for external oscillator
designs.

EXTERNAL RC OSCILLATOR
For timing insensitive applications, the RC device
option offers additional cost savings. The RC oscillator
frequency is a function of the supply voltage, the resistor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT) values, and the operating temperature. In addition to this, the oscillator
frequency will vary from unit-to-unit due to normal process parameter variation. Furthermore, the difference
in lead frame capacitance between package types will
also affect the oscillation frequency, especially for low
CEXT values. The user also needs to take into account
variation due to tolerance of external R and C
components used.
Figure 8-5 shows how the R/C combination is connected to the PIC16F526 device. For REXT values
below 3.0 k, the oscillator operation may become
unstable, or stop completely. For very high REXT values
(e.g., 1 M), the oscillator becomes sensitive to noise,
humidity and leakage. Thus, we recommend keeping
REXT between 5.0 k and 100 k.
Although the oscillator will operate with no external
capacitor (CEXT = 0 pF), we recommend using values
above 20 pF for noise and stability reasons. With no or
small external capacitance, the oscillation frequency
can vary dramatically due to changes in external
capacitances, such as PCB trace capacitance or
package lead frame capacitance.
Section 14.0 “Electrical Characteristics” shows RC
frequency variation from part-to-part due to normal
process variation. The variation is larger for larger values of R (since leakage current variation will affect RC
frequency more for large R) and for smaller values of C
(since variation of input capacitance will affect RC
frequency more).

INTERNAL 4/8 MHz RC
OSCILLATOR
The internal RC oscillator provides a fixed 4/8 MHz
(nominal) system clock at VDD = 5V and 25°C, (see
Section 14.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for
information on variation over voltage and temperature).
In addition, a calibration instruction is programmed into
the last address of memory, which contains the calibration value for the internal RC oscillator. This location is
always non-code protected, regardless of the codeprotect settings. This value is programmed as a MOVLW
XX instruction where XX is the calibration value, and is
placed at the Reset vector. This will load the W register
with the calibration value upon Reset and the PC will
then roll over to the users program at address 0x000.
The user then has the option of writing the value to the
OSCCAL Register (05h) or ignoring it.
OSCCAL, when written to with the calibration value, will
“trim” the internal oscillator to remove process variation
from the oscillator frequency.
Note:
Erasing the device will also erase the preprogrammed internal calibration value for
the internal oscillator. The calibration
value must be read prior to erasing the
part so it can be reprogrammed correctly
later.
For the PIC16F526 device, only bits 7:1 of OSCCAL
are used for calibration. See Register 4-3 for more
information.
Note:
2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
The bit 0 of the OSCCAL register is
unimplemented and should be written as
‘0’ when modifying OSCCAL for
compatibility with future devices.

Some registers are not reset in any way, they are
unknown on POR and unchanged in any other Reset.
Most other registers are reset to “Reset state” on
Power-on Reset (POR), MCLR, WDT or Wake-up on
pin change Reset during normal operation. They are
not affected by a WDT Reset during Sleep or MCLR
Reset during Sleep, since these Resets are viewed as
resumption of normal operation. The exceptions to this
are TO, PD and RBWUF bits. They are set or cleared
differently in different Reset situations. These bits are
used in software to determine the nature of Reset. See
Table 8-3 for a full description of Reset states of all
registers.

MCLR ENABLE
This Configuration bit, when unprogrammed (left in the
‘1’ state), enables the external MCLR function. When
programmed, the MCLR function is tied to the internal
VDD and the pin is assigned to be a I/O. See Figure 8-6.
FIGURE 8-6:
MCLR SELECT
A power-up example where MCLR is held low is shown
in Figure 8-8. VDD is allowed to rise and stabilize before
bringing MCLR high. The chip will actually come out of
Reset TDRT msec after MCLR goes high.
RBWU
RB3/MCLR/VPP
MCLRE
8.4
The Power-on Reset circuit and the Device Reset
Timer (see Section 8.5 “Device Reset Timer (DRT)”)
circuit are closely related. On power-up, the Reset latch
is set and the DRT is reset. The DRT timer begins
counting once it detects MCLR to be high. After the
time-out period, which is typically 18 ms or 1 ms, it will
reset the Reset latch and thus end the on-chip Reset
signal.
Internal MCLR
Power-on Reset (POR)
The PIC16F526 device incorporates an on-chip Poweron Reset (POR) circuitry, which provides an internal
chip Reset for most power-up situations.
The on-chip POR circuit holds the chip in Reset until
VDD has reached a high enough level for proper operation. To take advantage of the internal POR, program
the RB3/MCLR/VPP pin as MCLR and tie through a
resistor to VDD, or program the pin as RB3. An internal
weak pull-up resistor is implemented using a transistor
(refer to Table 14-5 for the pull-up resistor ranges). This
will eliminate external RC components usually needed
to create a Power-on Reset. A maximum rise time for
VDD is specified. See Section 14.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for details.
When the device starts normal operation (exit the
Reset condition), device operating parameters (voltage, frequency, temperature,...) must be met to ensure
operation. If these conditions are not met, the device
must be held in Reset until the operating parameters
are met.
In Figure 8-9, the on-chip Power-on Reset feature is
being used (MCLR and VDD are tied together or the pin
is programmed to be RB3. The VDD is stable before the
start-up timer times out and there is no problem in getting a proper Reset. However, Figure 8-10 depicts a
problem situation where VDD rises too slowly. The time
between when the DRT senses that MCLR is high and
when MCLR and VDD actually reach their full value, is
too long. In this situation, when the start-up timer times
out, VDD has not reached the VDD (min) value and the
chip may not function correctly. For such situations, we
recommend that external RC circuits be used to
achieve longer POR delay times (Figure 8-9).
Note:
When the device starts normal operation
(exit 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.
For additional information, refer to Application Notes
AN522 “Power-Up Considerations” (DS00522) and
AN607 “Power-up Trouble Shooting” (DS00607).

8.5
Device Reset Timer (DRT)
On the PIC16F526 device, the DRT runs any time the
device is powered up. DRT runs from Reset and varies
based on oscillator selection and Reset type (see
Table 8-5).
The DRT operates on an internal RC oscillator. The
processor is kept in Reset as long as the DRT is active.
The DRT delay allows VDD to rise above VDD min. and
for the oscillator to stabilize.
Oscillator circuits based on crystals or ceramic resonators require a certain time after power-up to establish a
stable oscillation. The on-chip DRT keeps the device in
a Reset condition after MCLR has reached a logic high
(VIH MCLR) level. Programming RB3/MCLR/VPP as
MCLR and using an external RC network connected to
the MCLR input is not required in most cases. This
allows savings in cost-sensitive and/or space restricted
applications, as well as allowing the use of the RB3/
MCLR/VPP pin as a general purpose input.
The Device Reset Time delays will vary from chip-tochip due to VDD, temperature and process variation.
See AC parameters for details.
The DRT will also be triggered upon a Watchdog Timer
time-out from Sleep. This is particularly important for
applications using the WDT to wake from Sleep mode
automatically.
Reset sources are POR, MCLR, WDT time-out and
wake-up on pin or comparator change. See
Section 8.9.2 “Wake-up from Sleep”, Notes 1, 2 and
3.

WDT PERIOD
The WDT has a nominal time-out period of 18 ms, (with
no prescaler). If a longer time-out period is desired, a
prescaler with a division ratio of up to 1:128 can be
assigned to the WDT (under software control) by
writing to the OPTION register. Thus, a time-out period
of a nominal 2.3 seconds can be realized. These
periods vary with temperature, VDD and part-to-part
process variations (see DC specs).
Under worst-case conditions (VDD = Min., Temperature
= Max., max. WDT prescaler), it may take several
seconds before a WDT time-out occurs.
8.6.2
WDT PROGRAMMING
CONSIDERATIONS
The CLRWDT instruction clears the WDT and the
postscaler, if assigned to the WDT, and prevents it from
timing out and generating a device Reset.
The SLEEP instruction resets the WDT and the
postscaler, if assigned to the WDT. This gives the
maximum Sleep time before a WDT wake-up Reset.
Watchdog Timer (WDT)
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a free running on-chip
RC oscillator, which does not require any external
components. This RC oscillator is separate from the
external RC oscillator of the RB5/OSC1/CLKIN pin and
the internal 4/8 MHz oscillator. This means that the
WDT will run even if the main processor clock has been
stopped, for example, by execution of a SLEEP
instruction. During normal operation or Sleep, a WDT
Reset or wake-up Reset, generates a device Reset.
The TO bit of the STATUS register will be cleared upon
a Watchdog Timer Reset.
The WDT can be permanently disabled by
programming the configuration WDTE as a ‘0’ (see
Section 8.1 “Configuration Bits”). Refer to the
PIC16F526 Programming Specifications to determine
how to access the Configuration Word.

status they had before the SLEEP instruction was executed (driving high, driving low or high-impedance).

Note:
A Reset generated by a WDT time-out
does not drive the MCLR pin low.
For lowest current consumption while powered down,
the T0CKI input should be at VDD or VSS and the RB3/
MCLR/VPP pin must be at a logic high level if MCLR is
enabled.
WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
4.
An external Reset input on RB3/MCLR/VPP pin,
when configured as MCLR.
A Watchdog Timer Time-out Reset (if WDT was
enabled).
A change on input pin RB0, RB1, RB3 or RB4
when wake-up on change is enabled.
A change in one of the comparator output bits,
C1OUT or C2OUT (if comparator wake-up is
enabled).
These events cause a device Reset. The TO, PD and
CWUF/RBWUF bits can be used to determine the
cause of device Reset. The TO bit is cleared if a WDT
time-out occurred (and caused wake-up). The PD bit,
which is set on power-up, is cleared when SLEEP is
invoked. The CWUF bit indicates a change in a comparator output state while the device was in Sleep. The
RBWUF bit indicates a change in state while in Sleep
at pins RB0, RB1, RB3 or RB4 (since the last file or bit
operation on RB port).
Note:
Caution: Right before entering Sleep,
read the input pins. When in Sleep,
wake-up occurs when the values at the
pins change from the state they were in at
the last reading. If a wake-up on change
occurs and the pins are not read before
re-entering Sleep, a wake-up will occur
immediately even if no pins change while
in Sleep mode.
The WDT is cleared when the device wakes from
Sleep, regardless of the wake-up source.
Note:

Caution: Right before entering Sleep,
read the comparator Configuration
register(s) CM1CON0 and CM2CON0.
When in Sleep, wake-up occurs when the
comparator output bit C1OUT and C2OUT
change from the state they were in at the
last reading. If a wake-up on comparator
change occurs and the pins are not read
before re-entering Sleep, a wake-up will
occur immediately, even if no pins change
while in Sleep mode.

In-Circuit Serial Programming™
The PIC16F526 microcontroller 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.
The devices are placed into a Program/Verify mode by
holding the RB1 and RB0 pins low while raising the
MCLR (VPP) pin from VIL to VIHH (see programming
specification). RB1 becomes the programming clock
and B0 becomes the programming data. Both RB1 and
RB0 are Schmitt Trigger inputs in this mode.
After Reset, a 6-bit command is then supplied to the
device. Depending on the command, 14 bits of program
data are then supplied to or from the device, depending
if the command was a Load or a Read. For complete
details of serial programming, please refer to the
PIC16F526 Programming Specifications.
A typical In-Circuit Serial Programming connection is
shown in Figure 8-15.

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL (A/D)
CONVERTER
Note:
The A/D Converter allows conversion of an analog
signal into an 8-bit digital signal.
9.1
Clock Divisors
The ADC has 4 clock source settings ADCS.
There are 3 divisor values 16, 8 and 4. The fourth
setting is INTOSC with a divisor of 4. These settings
will allow a proper conversion when using an external
oscillator at speeds from 20 MHz to 350 kHz. Using an
external oscillator at a frequency below 350 kHz
requires the ADC oscillator setting to be INTOSC/4
(ADCS = 11) for valid ADC results.
The ADC requires 13 TAD periods to complete a
conversion. The divisor values do not affect the number
of TAD periods required to perform a conversion. The
divisor values determine the length of the TAD period.
When the ADCS bits are changed while an ADC
conversion is in process, the new ADC clock source will
not be selected until the next conversion is started. This
clock source selection will be lost when the device
enters Sleep.
Note:
9.1.1
The ADC clock is derived from the instruction clock. The ADCS divisors are then
applied to create the ADC clock
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
There is no external voltage reference for the ADC. The
ADC reference voltage will always be VDD.
9.1.2
ANALOG MODE SELECTION
The ANS bits are used to configure pins for
analog input. Upon any Reset, ANS defaults to
11. This configures pins AN0, AN1 and AN2 as analog
inputs. The comparator output, C1OUT, will override
AN2 as an input if the comparator output is enabled.
Pins configured as analog inputs are not available for
digital output. Users should not change the ANS bits
while a conversion is in process. ANS bits are active
regardless of the condition of ADON.
9.1.3
It is the users responsibility to ensure that
use of the ADC and comparator simultaneously on the same pin, does not
adversely affect the signal being
monitored or adversely effect device
operation.
When the CHS bits are changed during an ADC
conversion, the new channel will not be selected until
the current conversion is completed. This allows the
current conversion to complete with valid results. All
channel selection information will be lost when the
device enters Sleep.

9.1.4
THE GO/DONE BIT
The GO/DONE bit is used to determine the status of a
conversion, to start a conversion and to manually halt
a conversion in process. Setting the GO/DONE bit
starts a conversion. When the conversion is complete,
the ADC module clears the GO/DONE bit. A
conversion can be terminated by manually clearing the
GO/DONE bit while a conversion is in process. Manual
termination of a conversion may result in a partially
converted result in ADRES.
The GO/DONE bit is cleared when the device enters
Sleep, stopping the current conversion. The ADC does
not have a dedicated oscillator, it runs off of the
instruction clock. Therefore, no conversion can occur in
sleep.
The GO/DONE bit cannot be set when ADON is clear.
ADC CHANNEL SELECTION
The CHS bits are used to select the analog channel to
be sampled by the ADC. The CHS bits can be
changed at any time without adversely effecting a conversion. To acquire an analog signal the CHS
selection must match one of the pin(s) selected by the
ANS bits. When the ADC is on (ADON = 1) and a
channel is selected that is also being used by the
comparator, then both the comparator and the ADC will
see the analog voltage on the pin.

DS41326E-page 59
PIC16F526
9.1.5
SLEEP
This ADC does not have a dedicated ADC clock, and
therefore, no conversion in Sleep is possible. If a
conversion is underway and a Sleep command is
executed, the GO/DONE and ADON bit will be cleared.
This will stop any conversion in process and powerdown the ADC module to conserve power. Due to the
nature of the conversion process, the ADRES may contain a partial conversion. At least 1 bit must have been
converted prior to Sleep to have partial conversion data
in ADRES. The ADCS and CHS bits are reset to their
default condition; ANS = 11 and CHS = 11.
• For accurate conversions, TAD must meet the
following:
• 500 ns < TAD < 50 s
• TAD = 1/(FOSC/divisor)
Shaded areas indicate TAD out of range for accurate
conversions. If analog input is desired at these
frequencies, use INTOSC/8 for the ADC clock source.

conversion is complete; the ‘leading one’ has been
shifted out and the GO/DONE bit is cleared.
The ADRES register contains the results of the last
conversion. These results are present during the
sampling period of the next analog conversion process.
After the sampling period is over, ADRES is cleared
(= 0). A ‘leading one’ is then right shifted into the
ADRES to serve as an internal conversion complete
bit. As each bit weight, starting with the MSB, is
converted, the leading one is shifted right and the
converted bit is stuffed into ADRES. After a total of 9

If the GO/DONE bit is cleared in software during a
conversion, the conversion stops. The data in ADRES
is the partial conversion result. This data is valid for the

the ‘leading one’ determines the number of bits that
have been converted. The bits that were not converted
before the GO/DONE was cleared are unrecoverable.

Comparator Operation
A single comparator is shown in Figure 10-2 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. The shaded area of the output of
the comparator in Figure 10-2 represent the
uncertainty due to input offsets and response time. See
Table 14-2 for Common Mode Voltage.

Note:
10.5
Analog levels on any pin that is defined as
a digital input may cause the input buffer
to consume more current than is specified.
Comparator Wake-up Flag
The Comparator Wake-up Flag is set whenever all of
the following conditions are met:
• C1WU = 0 (CM1CON0) or
C2WU = 0 (CM2CON0)
• CM1CON0 or CM2CON0 has been read to latch
the last known state of the C1OUT and C2OUT bit
(MOVF CM1CON0, W)
• Device is in Sleep
• The output of a comparator has changed state
The wake-up flag may be cleared in software or by
another device Reset.

When the comparator is enabled it is active. To

10.2
Comparator Reference
An internal reference signal may be used depending on
the comparator operating mode. The analog signal that
is present at VIN- is compared to the signal at VIN+, and
the digital output of the comparator is adjusted
accordingly (Figure 10-2). Please see Section 11.0
“Comparator Voltage Reference Module” for internal
reference specifications.
10.3
Comparator Response Time
Response time is the minimum time after selecting a
new reference voltage or input source before the
comparator output is to have a valid level. If the
comparator inputs are changed, a delay must be used
to allow the comparator to settle to its new state.
Please see Table 14-3 for comparator response time
specifications.
10.4
Effects of Reset
A Power-on Reset (POR) forces the CM2CON0
register to its Reset state. This forces the Comparator
input pins to analog Reset mode. Device current is
minimized when analog inputs are present at Reset
time.
10.8
Analog Input Connection
Considerations
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in
Figure 10-3. 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
range by more than 0.6V in either direction, one of the
diodes is forward biased and a latch-up 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.
Comparator Output
The comparator output is read through the CM1CON0
or CM2CON0 register. This bit is read-only. The
comparator output may also be used externally, see
Figure 10-1.

The Comparator Voltage Reference module also
allows the selection of an internally generated voltage
reference for one of the C2 comparator inputs. The
VRCON register (Register 11-1) controls the Voltage
Reference module shown in Figure 11-1.
11.1
Configuring The Voltage
Reference
The voltage reference can output 32 voltage levels; 16
in a high range and 16 in a low range.
Equation 11-1 determines the output voltages:
EQUATION 11-1:
Voltage Reference Accuracy/Error
The full range of VSS to VDD cannot be realized due to
construction of the module. The transistors on the top
and bottom of the resistor ladder network (Figure 11-1)
keep CVREF from approaching VSS or VDD. The
exception is when the module is disabled by clearing
the VREN bit of the VRCON register. When disabled,
the reference voltage is VSS when VR is ‘0000’
and the VRR bit of the VRCON register is set. This
allows the comparator to detect a zero-crossing and
not consume the CVREF module current.
The voltage reference is VDD derived and, therefore,
the CVREF output changes with fluctuations in VDD.
The tested absolute accuracy of the comparator
voltage reference can be found in Section 14.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.
VRR = 1 (low range): CVREF = (VR/24) x VDD
VRR = 0 (high range):
CVREF = (VDD/4) + (VR x VDD/32)

INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC16 instruction set is highly orthogonal and is
comprised of three basic categories.
• Byte-oriented operations
• Bit-oriented operations
• Literal and control operations
Each PIC16 instruction is a 12-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 formats for each of the
categories is presented in Figure 12-1, while the
various opcode fields are summarized in Table 12-1.
For byte-oriented instructions, ‘f’ represents a file
register designator and ‘d’ represents a destination
designator. The file register designator specifies which
file register is to be used by the instruction.
The destination designator specifies where the result of
the operation is to be placed. If ‘d’ is ‘0’, the result is
placed in the W register. If ‘d’ is ‘1’, the result is placed
in the file register specified in the instruction.
For bit-oriented instructions, ‘b’ represents a bit field
designator which selects the number of the bit affected
by the operation, while ‘f’ represents the number of the
file in which the bit is located.
For literal and control operations, ‘k’ represents an
8 or 9-bit constant or literal value.

b

The assembler will generate code with x = 0. It is
the recommended form of use for compatibility with
all Microchip software tools.

Figure 12-1 shows the three general formats that the
instructions can have. All examples in the figure use
the following format to represent a hexadecimal
number:
OPCODE FIELD
DESCRIPTIONS
Field
f
All instructions are executed within a single instruction
cycle, unless a conditional test is true or the program
counter is changed as a result of an instruction. In this
case, the execution takes 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.

Note 1: The 9th bit of the program counter will be forced to a ‘0’ by any instruction that writes to the PC except for
GOTO. See Section 4.6 “Program Counter”.
2: When an I/O register is modified as a function of itself (e.g. MOVF PORTB, 1), 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’.
3: The instruction TRIS f, where f = 6, causes the contents of the W register to be written to the tri-state
latches of PORTB. A ‘1’ forces the pin to a high-impedance state and disables the output buffers.
4: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and, where applicable, d = 1), the prescaler will be
cleared (if assigned to TMR0).
