1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEWThis document defines the programming specificationfor the dsPIC33E 16-bit Digital Signal Controller (DSC)and PIC24E 16-bit Microcontroller (MCU) families. Thisprogramming specification is required only for thosedeveloping programming support for the dsPIC33E/PIC24E family. All other customers should usedevelopment tools that already provide support fordevice programming.

2.0 PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW OF THE dsPIC33E/PIC24E

There are two methods of programming the dsPIC33E/PIC24E family of devices discussed in thisprogramming specification. They are:

• In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) programming capability

• Enhanced In-Circuit Serial Programming

The ICSP programming method is the most directmethod to program the device; however, it is also theslower of the two methods. It provides native, low-levelprogramming capability to erase, program and verifythe chip.

The Enhanced ICSP protocol uses a faster method thattakes advantage of the programming executive, asillustrated in Figure 2-1. The programming executiveprovides all the necessary functionality to erase,program and verify the chip through a small commandset. The command set allows the programmer toprogram the dsPIC33E/PIC24E ProgrammingSpecification devices without having to deal with thelow-level programming protocols of the chip.

FIGURE 2-1: PROGRAMMING SYSTEM OVERVIEW FOR ENHANCED ICSP™

This specification is divided into major sections thatdescribe the programming methods independently.Section 3.0 “Device Programming – EnhancedICSP” describes the Enhanced ICSP method.Section 6.0 “Device Programming – ICSP” describesthe ICSP method.

dsPIC33E/PIC24E PROGRAMMING SPECIFICATION

2.1 Required ConnectionsThese devices require specific connections forprogramming to take place. These connections includepower, VCAP, MCLR, and one programming pair(PGEDx/PGECx). Table 2-1 describes theseconnections (refer to the specific device data sheet forpin descriptions and power connection requirements).

TABLE 2-1: PINS USED DURING PROGRAMMING

2.2 Program Memory Write/Erase Requirements

The program Flash memory on the dsPIC33E/PIC24Ehas a specific write/erase requirement that must beadhered to for proper device operation. The rule is thatany given word in memory must not be written withoutfirst erasing the page in which it is located. Thus, theeasiest way to conform to this rule is to write all the datain a programming block within one write cycle. Theprogramming methods specified in this documentcomply with this requirement.

2.3 Memory MapThe program memory map extends from 0x0 to0xFFFFFE. Code storage is located at the base of thememory map and supports up to 175,104 instructions(about 512 Kbytes). Table 2-2 shows the programmemory size and number of erase and program blockspresent in each device variant. Each erase block orpage contains 1024 instructions and each programblock or row, contains 128 instructions.

An additional 24 Kbytes of program Flash memory isavailable at locations 0x7FC000 through 0x7FFFFF,which is called auxiliary program Flash memory.

Locations 0x800000 through 0x800FFE are reservedfor executive code memory. This region stores theprogramming executive and the debugging executive.The programming executive is used for device pro-gramming and the debug executive is used for in-circuitdebugging. This region of memory cannot be used tostore user code.

Locations 0xF80000 through 0xF80013 are reservedfor the device Configuration registers.

Locations 0xFF0000 and 0xFF0002 are reserved forthe Device ID Word registers. These bits can be usedby the programmer to identify which device type isbeing programmed. They are described in Section 8.0“Device ID”. The Device ID registers read outnormally, even after code protection is applied.

Figure 2-2 shows the memory map for the dsPIC33E/PIC24E family variants.

Note: Refer to the specific device data sheet forcomplete pin diagrams of dsPIC33E/PIC24E devices.

3.0 DEVICE PROGRAMMING – ENHANCED ICSP

This section discusses programming the devicethrough Enhanced ICSP and the programmingexecutive. The programming executive resides inexecutive memory (separate from code memory) and isexecuted when Enhanced ICSP Programming mode isentered. The programming executive provides themechanism for the programmer (host device) toprogram and verify the dsPIC33E/PIC24EProgramming Specification family devices using asimple command set and communication protocol.There are several basic functions provided by theprogramming executive:

• Read Memory• Erase Memory• Program Memory• Blank Check• Read Executive Firmware Revision

The programming executive performs the low-leveltasks required for erasing, programming and verifyinga device. This allows the programmer to program thedevice by issuing the appropriate commands and data.Table 3-1 summarizes the commands. A detaileddescription for each command is provided inSection 5.2 “Programming Executive Commands”.

TABLE 3-1: COMMAND SET SUMMARY

The programming executive uses the device’s dataRAM for variable storage and program execution. Afterthe programming executive is run, no assumptionsshould be made about the contents of data RAM.

3.1 Overview of the Programming Process

Figure 3-1 shows the high-level overview of theprogramming process. After entering Enhanced ICSPmode, the programming executive is verified. Next, thedevice is erased, and then, the program Flash memory(primary and auxiliary Flash memory) is programmed,followed by the non-volatile device Configurationregisters. Code memory (including the Configurationregisters) is then verified to ensure that programmingwas successful.

After the programming executive has been verifiedin memory (or loaded if not present), the dsPIC33E/PIC24E Programming Specification can beprogrammed using the command set shown inTable 3-1.

3.2 Confirming the Presence of the Programming Executive

Before programming, the programmer must confirmthat the programming executive is stored in executivememory. The procedure for this task is shown inFigure 3-2.

First, ICSP mode is entered. Then, the uniqueApplication ID Word stored in executive memory is read.If the programming executive is resident, the correctApplication ID Word is read and programming canresume as normal. However, if the Application ID Word isnot present, the programming executive must beprogrammed to executive code memory using themethod described in Section 7.0 “Programming theProgramming Executive to Memory”. SeeTable 8-1for the Application ID of each device.

Section 6.0 “Device Programming – ICSP” describesthe ICSP programming method. Section 6.11 “Readingthe Application ID Word” describes the procedure forreading the Application ID Word in ICSP mode.

FIGURE 3-2: CONFIRMING PRESENCE OF PROGRAMMING EXECUTIVE

3.3 Entering Enhanced ICSP ModeAs shown in Figure 3-3, entering Enhanced ICSP Program/Verify mode requires three steps:

1. The MCLR pin is briefly driven high then low.2. A 32-bit key sequence is clocked into PGD.3. MCLR is then driven high within a specified

period of time and held.

The programming voltage applied to MCLR is VIH,which is essentially VDD in case of dsPIC33E/PIC24Edevices. There is no minimum time requirement forholding at VIH. After VIH is removed, an interval of atleast P18 must elapse before presenting the keysequence on PGD.

The key sequence is a specific 32-bit pattern,‘0100 1101 0100 0011 0100 1000 0101 0000’(more easily remembered as 0x4D434850 inhexadecimal format). The device will enter Program/Verify mode only if the key sequence is valid. The MostSignificant bit (MSb) of the most significant nibble mustbe shifted in first.

Once the key sequence is complete, VIH must beapplied to MCLR and held at that level for as long asProgram/Verify mode is to be maintained. An intervaltime of at least P19, P7, and P1*5 must elapse beforepresenting data on PGD. Signals appearing on PGDbefore this time has elapsed will not be interpreted asvalid.

On successful entry, the program memory can beaccessed and programmed in serial fashion. While inthe Program/Verify mode, all unused I/Os are placed inthe high-impedance state.

3.4 Blank CheckThe term “Blank Check” implies verifying that thedevice has been successfully erased and has noprogrammed memory locations. A blank or erasedmemory location is always read as ‘1’, except for theGSSK<1:0> and APLK<1:0> bits in the FGS and FASConfiguration registers, which read as ‘0’ when in ablank (erased) state.

The Device ID registers (0xFF0000:0xFF0002) can beignored by the Blank Check since this region storesdevice information that cannot be erased. The deviceConfiguration registers are also ignored by the BlankCheck. Additionally, all unimplemented memory spaceshould be ignored from the Blank Check.

The QBLANK command is used for the Blank Check. Itdetermines if the code memory is erased by testingthese memory regions. A ‘BLANK’ or ‘NOT BLANK’response is returned. If it is determined that the deviceis not blank, it must be erased before attempting toprogram the chip.

3.5 Code Memory Programming

3.5.1 PROGRAMMING METHODOLOGYCode memory (primary or auxiliary Flash) is pro-grammed with the PROGP command. PROGP programsone row of code memory starting from the memoryaddress specified in the command. The number ofPROGP commands required to program a devicedepends on the number of write blocks that must beprogrammed in the device.

A flowchart for programming code memory is shown inFigure 3-4. In this example, all 175,104 instructionwords of a dsPIC33E/PIC24E device are programmed.First, the number of commands to send (called‘RemainingCmds’ in the flowchart) is set to 1368 andthe destination address (called ‘BaseAddress’) is set to‘0’. Next, one write block in the device is programmedwith a PROGP command. Each PROGP commandcontains data for one row of code memory of thedsPIC33E/PIC24E. After the first command isprocessed successfully, ‘RemainingCmds’ isdecremented by ‘1’ and compared with ‘0’. Since thereare more PROGP commands to send, ‘BaseAddress’ isincremented by 0x100 to point to the next row ofmemory.

On the second PROGP command, the second row isprogrammed. This process is repeated until the entiredevice is programmed.

Note: If a bootloader needs to be programmed,the bootloader code must not beprogrammed into the first page of codememory. For example, if a bootloaderlocated at address 0x200 attempts toerase the first page, it would inadvertentlyerase itself. Instead, program thebootloader into the second page (e.g.,0x400).



FIGURE 3-4: FLOWCHART FOR PROGRAMMING CODE MEMORY

3.5.2 PROGRAMMING VERIFICATIONAfter code memory is programmed, the contents ofmemory can be verified to ensure that programmingwas successful. Verification requires code memory tobe read back and compared against the copy held inthe programmer’s buffer.

The READP command can be used to read back all theprogrammed code memory.

Alternatively, you can have the programmer performthe verification after the entire device is programmed,using a checksum computation.

4.0 CHECKSUM COMPUTATIONChecksums for devices are 16 bits in size. Thechecksum is calculated by summing the following:

• Contents of code memory locations• Contents of Configuration bytes

All memory locations are summed one byte at a timeusing only their native data size. Configuration bytesare summed by adding the lower byte of these loca-tions (the upper bytes are ignored), while code memoryis summed by adding all three bytes of code memory.

Table 4-1 is an example of the checksum calculation forthe dsPIC33EP64MC506 device.

Table 4-2 describes the Configuration bit masks foreach device.

4.1 Configuration Bits Programming

4.1.1 OVERVIEWThe dsPIC33E/PIC24E devices have Configurationbits stored in eight 8-bit Configuration registers,aligned on even configuration memory addressboundaries. These bits can be set or cleared to selectvarious device configurations. There are three types ofConfiguration bits: system operation bits, code-protectbits and unit ID bits. The system operation bitsdetermine the power-on settings for system level

components, such as oscillator and Watchdog Timer.The code-protect bits prevent program memory frombeing read and written.

The register descriptions for the FGS, FOSCSEL,FOSC, FWDT, FPOR, FAS and FICD Configurationregisters are shown in Table 4-3.

The Configuration register map is shown in Table 4-4.

Note 1: If any of the code-protect bits in FAS orFGS is clear, the entire device must beerased before it can be reprogrammed.

2: These bits are reserved on dsPIC33EP256MU806 (64-pin) devices and always read as ‘1’.



4.1.2 PROGRAMMING METHODOLOGYConfiguration bits may be programmed a single byte ata time using the PROGC command. This commandspecifies the configuration data and Configurationregister address.

Eight PROGC commands are required to program all theConfiguration bits. A flowchart for Configuration bit pro-gramming is shown in Figure 4-1.

4.1.3 PROGRAMMING VERIFICATIONAfter the Configuration bits are programmed, thecontents of memory should be verified to ensure thatthe programming was successful. Verification requiresthe Configuration bits to be read back and comparedagainst the copy held in the programmer’s buffer. TheREADC command reads back the programmedConfiguration bits and verifies that the programmingwas successful.

Any unimplemented Configuration bits are read-onlyand read as ‘0’. The reserved bits are read-only andread as ‘1’.

FIGURE 4-1: CONFIGURATION BIT PROGRAMMING FLOW

Note: If the General Code SegmentCode-Protect bit (GSS) is programmedto ‘0’, code memory is code-protectedand cannot be read. Code memory mustbe verified before enabling readprotection. See Section 4.1.4“CodeGuard™ Security ConfigurationBits” for detailed information aboutcode-protect Configuration bits.

4.1.4 CodeGuard™ SECURITY CONFIGURATION BITS

The FGS and FAS Configuration registers are specialConfiguration registers that control the level of codeprotection for the General Segment (user code mem-ory) and auxiliary Flash memory, respectively. For eachof these memory regions, two main forms of code pro-tection are provided. One form prevents code memoryfrom being written (write protection), while the otherprevents code memory from being read (readprotection).

The GWRP and AWRP bits control write protection andthe GSS and APL bits control read protection. The ChipErase ERASEB command sets these four codeprotection bits to ‘1’, which allows the device to beprogrammed.

When write protection is enabled, any programmingoperation to code memory will fail. When readprotection is enabled, any read from code memory willcause a ‘0x0’ to be read, regardless of the actualcontents of code memory. Since the programmingexecutive always verifies what it programs, attemptingto program code memory with read protection enabledwill also result in failure.

It is imperative that all of the previously described codeprotection bits are ‘1’ while the device is being pro-grammed and verified. Only after the device is pro-grammed and verified should any of the above bits beprogrammed to ‘0’.

4.1.5 BENEFIT OF USER UNIT IDThe dsPIC33E/PIC24E devices provide an 8-bitConfiguration register (FUID0) for the user to storeproduct-specific information, such as unit serialnumbers and other product manufacturing data.

4.2 Exiting Enhanced ICSP ModeExiting Program/Verify mode is done by removing VIHfrom MCLR, as shown in Figure 4-2. The onlyrequirement for exit is that an interval P16 shouldelapse between the last clock and program signals onPGC and PGD before removing VIH.

FIGURE 4-2: EXITING ENHANCED ICSP™ MODE

Note: All code-protect/write-protect bits in theFAS and FGS Configuration registers canonly be programmed to a value of ‘0’. theERASEB command is the only way toreprogram code-protect bits from ON (‘0’)to OFF (‘1’).

5.0 THE PROGRAMMING EXECUTIVE

5.1 Programming Executive Communication

The programmer and programming executive have amaster-slave relationship, where the programmer isthe master programming device and the programmingexecutive is the slave.

All communication is initiated by the programmer in theform of a command. Only one command at a time canbe sent to the programming executive. In turn, theprogramming executive only sends one response tothe programmer after receiving and processing acommand. The programming executive command setis described in Section 5.2 “Programming ExecutiveCommands”. The response set is described inSection 5.3 “Programming Executive Responses”.

5.1.1 COMMUNICATION INTERFACE AND PROTOCOL

The ICSP/Enhanced ICSP interface is a 2-wire SPIimplemented using the PGC and PGD pins. The PGCpin is used as a clock input pin and the clock sourcemust be provided by the programmer. The PGD pin isused for sending command data to and receivingresponse data from the programming executive.

FIGURE 5-1: PROGRAMMING EXECUTIVE SERIAL TIMING

Since a 2-wire SPI is used, and data transmissions arebidirectional, a simple protocol is used to control thedirection of PGD. When the programmer completes acommand transmission, it releases the PGD line andallows the programming executive to drive this linehigh. The programming executive keeps the PGD linehigh to indicate that it is processing the command.

After the programming executive has processed thecommand, it brings PGD low (P9b) to indicate to theprogrammer that the response is available to beclocked out. The programmer can begin to clock outthe response after maximum wait (P9b) and it mustprovide the necessary amount of clock pulses toreceive the entire response from the programmingexecutive.

After the entire response is clocked out, theprogrammer should terminate the clock on PGC until itis time to send another command to the programmingexecutive. This protocol is shown in Figure 5-2.

5.1.2 SPI RATEIn Enhanced ICSP mode, the dsPIC33E/PIC24E familydevices operate from the Fast Internal RC oscillator,which has a nominal frequency of 7.3728 MHz. Thisoscillator frequency yields an effective system clockfrequency of 3.6864 MHz. To ensure that theprogrammer does not clock too fast, it is recommendedthat a 1.8432 MHz clock be provided by theprogrammer.

5.1.3 TIME OUTSThe programming executive uses no Watchdog or timeout for transmitting responses to the programmer. If theprogrammer does not follow the flow controlmechanism using PGC as described in Section 5.1.1“Communication Interface and Protocol”, it ispossible that the programming executive will behaveunexpectedly while trying to send a response to theprogrammer. Since the programming executive has notime out, it is imperative that the programmer correctlyfollow the described communication protocol.

As a safety measure, the programmer should use thecommand time outs identified in Table 5-1. If thecommand time out expires, the programmer shouldreset the programming executive and startprogramming the device again.

Note: The Programming Executive (PE) can belocated within the following folder within yourinstallation of MPLAB® IDE:...\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\REAL ICE,and then selecting the hex PE file,RIPE_10_xxxxxx.hex (where xxxxxx isthe version number).

Note: For Enhanced ICSP, all serial data istransmitted on the falling edge of PGCand latched on the rising edge of PGC. Alldata transmissions are sent to the MostSignificant bit first using 16-bit mode (seeFigure 5-1).

5.2 Programming Executive Commands

The programming executive command set is shown inTable 5-1. This table contains the opcode, mnemonic,length, time out and description for each command.Functional details on each command are provided inthe command descriptions (Section 5.2.4 “CommandDescriptions”).

5.2.1 COMMAND FORMATAll programming executive commands have a generalformat consisting of a 16-bit header and any requireddata for the command (see Figure 5-3). The 16-bitheader consists of a 4-bit opcode field, which is used toidentify the command, followed by a 12-bit commandlength field.

FIGURE 5-3: COMMAND FORMAT

The command opcode must match one of those in thecommand set. Any command that is received whichdoes not match the list in Table 5-1 will return a “NACK”response (see Section 5.3.1.1 “Opcode Field”).

The command length is represented in 16-bit wordssince the SPI operates in 16-bit mode. Theprogramming executive uses the command length fieldto determine the number of words to read from the SPIport. If the value of this field is incorrect, the commandwill not be properly received by the programmingexecutive.

5.2.2 PACKED DATA FORMATWhen 24-bit instruction words are transferred acrossthe 16-bit SPI interface, they are packed to conservespace using the format shown in Figure 5-4. Thisformat minimizes traffic over the SPI and provides theprogramming executive with data that is properlyaligned for performing table write operations.

FIGURE 5-4: PACKED INSTRUCTION WORD FORMAT

5.2.3 PROGRAMMING EXECUTIVE ERROR HANDLING

The programming executive will “NACK” allunsupported commands. Additionally, due to thememory constraints of the programming executive, nochecking is performed on the data contained in theprogrammer command. It is the responsibility of theprogrammer to command the programming executivewith valid command arguments or the programmingoperation may fail. Additional information on errorhandling is provided in Section 5.3.1.3 “QE_CodeField”.

5.3 Programming Executive Responses

The programming executive sends a response to theprogrammer for each command that it receives. Theresponse indicates if the command was processedcorrectly. It includes any required response data orerror data.

The programming executive response set is shown inTable 5-2. This table contains the opcode, mnemonicand description for each response. The response formatis described in Section 5.3.1 “Response Format”.

TABLE 5-2: PROGRAMMING EXECUTIVE RESPONSE OPCODES

5.3.1 RESPONSE FORMATAll programming executive responses have a generalformat consisting of a two-word header and anyrequired data for the command.

5.3.1.1 Opcode FieldThe opcode is a 4-bit field in the first word of theresponse. The opcode indicates how the commandwas processed (see Table 5-2). If the command wasprocessed successfully, the response opcode is PASS.If there was an error in processing the command, theresponse opcode is FAIL and the QE_Code indicatesthe reason for the failure. If the command sent tothe programming executive is not identified, theprogramming executive returns a NACK response.

5.3.1.2 Last_Cmd FieldThe Last_Cmd is a 4-bit field in the first word ofthe response and indicates the command that theprogramming executive processed. Since theprogramming executive can only process onecommand at a time, this field is technically not required.However, it can be used to verify that the programmingexecutive correctly received the command that theprogrammer transmitted.

5.3.1.3 QE_Code FieldThe QE_Code is a byte in the first word of theresponse. This byte is used to return data for querycommands and error codes for all other commands.

When the programming executive processes one of thetwo query commands (QBLANK or QVER), the returnedopcode is always PASS and the QE_Code holds thequery response data. The format of the QE_Code forboth queries is shown in Table 5-3.

TABLE 5-3: QE_Code FOR QUERIES

When the programming executive processes anycommand other than a Query, the QE_Coderepresents an error code. Supported error codes areshown in Table 5-4. If a command is successfullyprocessed, the returned QE_Code is set to 0x0, whichindicates that there is no error in the commandprocessing. If the verify of the programming for thePROGP or PROGC command fails, the QE_Code is set to0x1. For all other programming executive errors, theQE_Code is 0x2.

TABLE 5-4: QE_Code FOR NON-QUERY COMMANDS

5.3.1.4 Response LengthThe response length indicates the length of theprogramming executive’s response in 16-bit words.This field includes the 2 words of the response header.

With the exception of the response for the READP command, the length of each response is only 2 words.

The response to the READP command uses the packedinstruction word format described in Section 5.2.2“Packed Data Format”. When reading an odd num-ber of program memory words (N odd), the responseto the READP command is (3 * (N + 1)/2 + 2) words.When reading an even number of program memorywords (N even), the response to the READP commandis (3 * N/2 + 2) words.

0x0 No error. 0x1 Verify failed.0x2 Other error.



6.0 DEVICE PROGRAMMING – ICSPICSP mode is a special programming protocol thatallows you to read and write to dsPIC33E/PIC24Edevice family memory. The ICSP mode is the mostdirect method used to program the device; however,note that Enhanced ICSP is faster. ICSP mode alsohas the ability to read the contents of executivememory to determine if the programming executive ispresent. This capability is accomplished by applyingcontrol codes and instructions serially to the deviceusing pins PGC and PGD.

In ICSP mode, the system clock is taken from the PGCpin, regardless of the device’s oscillator Configurationbits. All instructions are shifted serially into an internalbuffer, then loaded into the instruction register andexecuted. No program fetching occurs from internalmemory. Instructions are fed in 24 bits at a time. PGDis used to shift data in, and PGC is used as both theserial shift clock and the CPU execution clock.

6.1 Overview of the Programming Process

Figure 6-1 shows the high-level overview of theprogramming process. After entering ICSP mode, thefirst action is to Bulk Erase the device. Next, the codememory is programmed, followed by the deviceConfiguration registers. Code memory (including theConfiguration registers) is then verified to ensure thatprogramming was successful. Then, program thecode-protect Configuration bits, if required.

6.2 Entering ICSP ModeAs shown in Figure 6-5, entering ICSP Program/Verifymode requires three steps:1. MCLR is briefly driven high then low (P21)(1).2. A 32-bit key sequence is clocked into PGD.3. MCLR is then driven high within a specified

period of time and held.

The programming voltage applied to MCLR is VIH,which is essentially VDD in the case of dsPIC33E/PIC24E devices. There is no minimum time require-ment for holding at VIH. After VIH is removed, an intervalof at least P18 must elapse before presenting the keysequence on PGD.The key sequence is a specific 32-bit pattern,‘0100 1101 0100 0011 0100 1000 0101 0001’(more easily remembered as 0x4D434851 inhexadecimal). The device will enter Program/Verifymode only if the sequence is valid. The Most Significantbit of the most significant nibble must be shifted in first. Once the key sequence is complete, VIH must beapplied to MCLR and held at that level for as long asProgram/Verify mode is to be maintained. An interval ofat least time P19, P7, and P1*5 must elapse before pre-senting data on PGD. Signals appearing on PGDbefore this time has elapsed will not be interpreted asvalid.On successful entry, the program memory can beaccessed and programmed in serial fashion. While inICSP mode, all unused I/Os are placed in thehigh-impedance state.

6.3 ICSP OperationAfter entering into ICSP mode, the CPU is Idle.Execution of the CPU is governed by an internal statemachine. A 4-bit control code is clocked in using PGCand PGD and this control code is used to command theCPU (see Table 6-1).

The SIX control code is used to send instructions to theCPU for execution and the REGOUT control code isused to read data out of the device via the VISI register.

TABLE 6-1: CPU CONTROL CODES IN ICSP™ MODE

6.3.1 SIX SERIAL INSTRUCTION EXECUTION

The SIX control code allows execution of dsPIC33E/PIC24E Programming Specification assembly instruc-tions. When the SIX code is received, the CPU is sus-pended for 24 clock cycles, as the instruction is thenclocked into the internal buffer. Once the instruction isshifted in, the state machine allows it to be executed overthe next four clock cycles. While the received instructionis executed, the state machine simultaneously shifts inthe next 4-bit command (see Figure 6-3).

6.3.2 REGOUT SERIAL INSTRUCTION EXECUTION

The REGOUT control code allows for data to beextracted from the device in ICSP mode. It is used toclock the contents of the VISI register out of the deviceover the PGD pin. After the REGOUT control code isreceived, the CPU is held Idle for eight cycles. After theseeight cycles, an additional 16 cycles are required to clockthe data out (see Figure 6-4).

The REGOUT code is unique because the PGD pin isan input when the control code is transmitted to thedevice. However, after the control code is processed,the PGD pin becomes an output as the VISI register isshifted out.

Note 1: The MCLR capacitor value can vary thehigh time required for entering ICSPmode.

4-Bit Control Code Mnemonic Description

0000b SIX Shift in 24-bit instruction and execute.

0001b REGOUT Shift out the VISIregister.

0010b-1111b N/A Reserved.

Note 1: Coming out of the ICSP entry sequence,the first 4-bit control code is alwaysforced to SIX and a forced NOP instructionis executed by the CPU. Five additionalPGC clocks are needed on start-up,thereby resulting in a 9-bit SIX commandinstead of the normal 4-bit SIX command.After the forced SIX is clocked in, ICSPoperation resumes as normal (the next24 clock cycles load the first instructionword to the CPU). See Figure 6-2 fordetails.

2: TBLRDH and TBLRDL instructions mustbe followed by five NOP instructions.TBLWTH and TBLWTL instructions mustbe followed by two NOP instructions.

Note: The device will latch input PGD data onthe rising edge of PGC and will outputdata on the PGD line on the rising edge ofPGC. For all data transmissions, the LeastSignificant bit (LSb) is transmitted first.

6.4 Flash Memory Programming in ICSP Mode

6.4.1 PROGRAMMING OPERATIONSFlash memory write and erase operations arecontrolled by the NVMCON register. Programming isperformed by setting NVMCON to select the type oferase operation (Table 6-2) or write operation(Table 6-3) and initiating the programming by settingthe WR control bit (NVMCON<15>). In ICSP mode, all programming operations areself-timed. There is an internal delay between the usersetting the WR control bit and the automatic clearing ofthe WR control bit when the programming operation iscomplete. Please refer to Section 9.0 “AC/DCCharacteristics and Timing Requirements” fordetailed information about the delays associated withvarious programming operations.

6.4.2 STARTING AND STOPPING A PROGRAMMING CYCLE

The WR bit (NVMCON<15>) is used to start an eraseor write cycle. Setting the WR bit initiates theprogramming cycle.All erase and write cycles are self-timed. The WR bitshould be polled to determine if the erase or write cyclehas been completed. Starting a programming cycle isperformed as follows:

6.5 Erasing Program MemoryThe procedure for erasing program memory (all of pri-mary Flash memory, auxiliary Flash memory, executivememory and code-protect Configuration bits) consistsof setting NVMCON to 0x400F and then executing theprogramming cycle. For segment erase operations, theNVMCON value should be modified suitably, accordingto Table 6-2.

Figure 6-6 shows the ICSP programming process forBulk Erasing program memory. This process includesthe ICSP command code, which must be transmitted(for each instruction) Least Significant bit first, using thePGC and PGD pins (see Figure 6-2).

6.6 Writing Code MemoryThe procedure for writing code memory (primary orauxiliary Flash) is similar to the procedure for writingthe Configuration registers, except that 128 instructionwords are programmed at a time. To facilitate this oper-ation, working registers, W0:W5, are used astemporary holding registers for the data to beprogrammed.

Table 6-5 shows the ICSP programming details,including the serial pattern with the ICSP commandcode, which must be transmitted Least Significant bitfirst using the PGC and PGD pins (see Figure 6-2). InStep 1, the Reset vector is exited.

To minimize the programming time, the same packedinstruction format that the programming executive usesis utilized (Figure 5-4). In Step 2, the pointer andTBLPAG register are configured to point to the start ofthe latch block (0xFA0000). In Step 3, four packedinstruction words are stored in working registers,W0:W5, using the MOV instruction and the read pointer,W6, is initialized. The contents of W0:W5 holding thepacked instruction word data are shown in Figure 6-7.In Step 4, eight TBLWT instructions are used to copy thedata from W0:W5 to the write latches. Since codememory is programmed 128 instruction words at atime, Steps 3-4 are repeated 32 times to load all thewrite latches (Step 5). The NVMADRU/NVMADR regis-ter-pair are then initialized to point to the correct rowaddress.

After the write latches are loaded, programming isinitiated by writing to the NVMCON register in Step 7 andsetting the WR bit in Step 8. In Step 9, the internal PC isreset to 0x200 every time the NVMCON register isinspected for polling the WR bit. This is a precautionarymeasure to prevent the PC from incrementing into unim-plemented memory when large devices are being pro-grammed. Lastly, in Step 10, Steps 2-9 are repeated untilall of code memory is programmed.

6.7 Writing Configuration MemoryThe 8-bit Configuration registers are programmable, oneregister at a time. The default programming valuesrecommended for the Configuration registers are shownin Table 6-6. The recommended default FOSCSEL valueis 0x87, which selects the FRC clock oscillator setting.Just like code memory, Configuration registers are pro-grammed by first setting up the programmed value in alatch (located at address 0xFA0000), specifying theconfiguration register address in the NVMADRU andNVMADR registers, and then initiating a configurationwrite operation.

The FGS and FAS Configuration registers are specialsince they enable code protection for the device. Forsecurity purposes, once any bit in these registers isprogrammed to ‘0’ (to enable code protection), it canonly be set back to ‘1’ by performing a Bulk Erase asdescribed in Section 6.5 “Erasing ProgramMemory”.

6.8 Reading Code MemoryReading from code memory (primary or auxiliary Flash)is performed by executing a series of TBLRD instruc-tions and clocking out the data using the REGOUTcommand.

Table 6-8 shows the ICSP programming details forreading code memory. In Step 1, the Reset vector isexited. In Step 2, the 24-bit starting source address forreading is loaded into the TBLPAG register and W6register. The upper byte of the starting source addressis stored in TBLPAG and the lower 16 bits of the sourceaddress are stored in W6.

To minimize the reading time, the packed instructionword format that was utilized for writing is also used forreading (see Figure 6-7). In Step 3, the write pointer,W7, is initialized. In Step 4, two instruction words areread from code memory and clocked out of the device,through the VISI register, using the REGOUT command.Step 4 is repeated until the desired amount of codememory is read.

6.10 Verify Code Memory and Configuration Word

The verify step involves reading back the code memoryspace and comparing it against the copy held in theprogrammer’s buffer. The Configuration registers areverified with the rest of the code.

The verify process is shown in the flowchart inFigure 6-9. Memory reads occur a single byte at a time,so two bytes must be read to compare against the wordin the programmer’s buffer. Refer to Section 6.8“Reading Code Memory” for implementation detailsof reading code memory.

FIGURE 6-9: VERIFY CODE MEMORY FLOW

6.11 Reading the Application ID WordThe Application ID Word is stored at address 0x8007F0in executive code memory. To read this memorylocation, you must use the SIX control code to movethis program memory location to the VISI register.Then, the REGOUT control code must be used to clockthe contents of the VISI register out of the device. Thecorresponding control and instruction codes that mustbe serially transmitted to the device to perform thisoperation are shown in Table 6-10.

After the programmer has clocked out the ApplicationID Word, it must be inspected. If the application ID hasthe value 0xDD, the programming executive is residentin memory and the device can be programmed usingthe mechanism described in Section 3.0 “DeviceProgramming – Enhanced ICSP”. However, if theapplication ID has any other value, the programmingexecutive is not resident in memory; it must be loadedto memory before the device can be programmed. Theprocedure for loading the programming executive tomemory is described in Section 7.0 “Programmingthe Programming Executive to Memory”.

6.12 Exiting ICSP ModeExiting Program/Verify mode is done by removing VIHfrom MCLR, as shown in Figure 6-10. The onlyrequirement for exit is that an interval P16 shouldelapse between the last clock and program signals onPGC and PGD before removing VIH.

FIGURE 6-10: EXITING ICSP™ MODE

Note: Because the Configuration registersinclude the device code protection bit,code memory should be verifiedimmediately after writing, if the codeprotection is enabled. This is because thedevice will not be readable or verifiable ifa device Reset occurs after the code-pro-tect bit in the FGS or FAS Configurationregister has been cleared.

7.0 PROGRAMMING THE PROGRAMMING EXECUTIVE TO MEMORY

7.1 OverviewIf it is determined that the programming executive is notpresent in executive memory (as described inSection 3.2 “Confirming the Presence of the

Programming Executive”), it must be programmedinto executive memory using ICSP, as described inSection 6.0 “Device Programming – ICSP”.

Storing the programming executive to executivememory is similar to normal programming of codememory. Namely, the executive memory must first beerased, and then the programming executive must beprogrammed 128 words at a time. This control flow issummarized in Table 7-1.

7.2 Programming Verification After the programming executive has beenprogrammed to executive memory using ICSP, it mustbe verified. Verification is performed by reading out thecontents of executive memory and comparing it withthe image of the programming executive stored in theprogrammer.

Reading the contents of executive memory can beperformed using the same technique described inSection 6.8 “Reading Code Memory”. A procedurefor reading executive memory is shown in Table 7-2.Note that in Step 2, the TBLPAG register is set to 0x80,such that executive memory may be read.

APPENDIX A: HEX FILE FORMATFlash programmers process the standard HEX formatused by the Microchip development tools. The formatsupported is the Intel® HEX32 Format (INHX32).Please refer to Appendix A in the “MPASM™ UsersGuide” (DS33014) for more information about hex fileformats.

The basic format of the hex file is:

:BBAAAATTHHHH...HHHHCC

Each data record begins with a 9-character prefix andalways ends with a 2-character checksum. All recordsbegin with ‘:’ regardless of the format. The individualelements are described below.

• BB – is a two-digit hexadecimal byte count representing the number of data bytes that appear on the line. Divide this number by two to get the number of words per line.

• AAAA – is a four-digit hexadecimal address representing the starting address of the data record. Format is high byte first followed by low byte. The address is doubled because this format only supports 8 bits. Divide the value by two to find the real device address.

• TT – is a two-digit record type that will be ‘00’ for data records, ‘01’ for end-of-file records and ‘04’ for extended-address record.

• HHHH – is a four-digit hexadecimal data word. Format is low byte followed by high byte. There will be BB/2 data words following TT.

• CC – is a two-digit hexadecimal checksum that is the two’s complement of the sum of all the preceding bytes in the line record.

Because the Intel hex file format is byte-oriented, andthe 16-bit program counter is not, program memorysections require special treatment. Each 24-bitprogram word is extended to 32 bits by inserting aso-called “phantom byte”. Each program memoryaddress is multiplied by 2 to yield a byte address.

As an example, a section that is located at 0x100 inprogram memory will be represented in the hex file as0x200.

The hex file will be produced with the followingcontents:

:020000040000fa

:040200003322110096

:00000001FF

Notice that the data record (line 2) has a load addressof 0200, while the source code specified address0x100. Note also that the data is represented in“little-endian” format, meaning the Least SignificantByte (LSB) appears first. The phantom byte appearslast, just before the checksum.
