These devices are part of the 12 bit PICmicro family and therefore requires the 5X FAMILY module (CVM5XF) for operation. EMULATOR DISCREPENCIES: Due to BONDOUT limitations, the following features are either NOT SUPPORTED or are modified slightly: n The Wake-Up on pin change feature is not supported. The GPWU bit (OPTION.7) has no affect. And the corresponding flag GPWUF (STATUS.7) has no meaning. n The “weak pull-up” resistors are enabled/disabled by hardware jumpers on the member pod rather than through the GPPU bit (OPTION.6). This bit has no affect. n Mathias provides the operating clock so the OSCCAL register has no affect. You can program Mathias for any clock frequency between 30KHz and 20MHz. The real PIC devices run at around 4 MHz. n GP3 is an INPUT ONLY on the real device to accommodate that pin’s alternative use as MCLR. The emulator provides a full INPUT/OUTPUT pin for this function. The MCLR signal is brought into the bondout chip through a different connection. You should ALWAYS SET the corresponding TRIS bit for GP3 to properly emulate this INPUT-ONLY behavior. n In an actual device, setting the TOCS bit (OPTION.5) automatically forces GP2 to be an input, over-riding the TRIS bit for GP2. The emulator DOES NOT automatically force GP2 to be an input. YOU MUST SET TRIS.2 YOURSELF, if you use GP2 as a T0CS input. n In an actual device, GPIO bits 6 and 7 are not implemented and will always read back ‘0’. In the emulator, these bits are actually present and will read back whatever was last written to them if the corresponding TRIS bits are cleared. If these TRIS bits are SET, then these bits read FLOATING inputs and their value is indeterminate. JUMPER CONFIGURATIONS: JP1: POWER If the target permits, you can power the target from the emulator. To do so, place a jumper on JP1 between the center pin (+5EMU) and the pin marked +5VEXT. Moving the jumper the unmarked position isolates the power rails. The default position is to ISOLATE the power rails. JP2: Pin 5 function functions as GP2. functions as T0CKI (default) JP3*: Selects Pin 2 function functions as GP5. No connection.* (default) JP4*: Select Pin 3 function functions as GP4. No Connection* (default) * Since Mathias provides the clock for the bondout chip, JP3 and JP4 are usually set to the GP position or removed completely. The no connection position is appropriate when your target normally drives the OSC pins. This isolates the GP bits so that they are not in contention with your target. NOTE: In either configuration, Mathias provides its own programmable clock, making it easy to emulate a processor in either internal or external clock source mode. JP5: Selects Pin 4 function functions as GP2 with BONDOUT MCLR the bondout MCLR driven by Pin 4 with tied to a weak pull to a weak pullup to Mathias VCC. (default) Mathias VCC. Functions as GP2 with (the configuration to the left can cause random resets if the target cable is not attached to a target and JP1 is NOT strapped to power the target. It is not normally used.) the bondout MCLR tied to the TARGET VCC. JP6,7 and 8: Weak Pull-ups On the real devices, these three pull-ups are ALL ON or ALL OFF. To properly emulate this, you should set ALL three jumpers to the ON position to enable the weak pull-ups. Conversely, you should set ALL THREE jumpers to the OFF position to disable the weak pull-ups. These are set to the ON position by default.
