PIC16C717/770/771
PIC16C717/770/771 Rev. C Silicon/Data Sheet Errata
The PIC16C717/770/771 parts you have received con-
form functionally to the Device Data Sheet
(DS41120B), except for the anomalies described
below.
All problems listed here will be addressed in future revi-
sions of the PIC16C717/770/771 silicon.
1.
Module: A/D Converter
Exception to Table 15-12, Parameter A04.
PIC16C770/771 (12-bit A/D): No missing codes to
11-bits of resolution, up to 4 non-consecutive
missing codes may occur when used to 12-bits of
resolution.
Work around
None.
2.
Module: Timer1
When Timer1 is configured to operate as an asyn-
chronous counter, care must be taken that there is
no incoming pulse while the module is being
turned off. If an incoming pulse arrives while
Timer1 is being turned off (i.e., TMR1ON transi-
tions from 1 to 0), the value of registers TMR1L
and TMR1H will be unpredictable.
Work around
This solution involves changing Timer1 from Asyn-
chronous to Synchronous mode before turning off
Timer1. No additional resources are required for
this solution.
Timer1 synchronization will start, effectively stop-
ping Timer1, one Q period after the Synchronous
mode is enabled, or one Q period later than would
have been realized by simply clearing the
TMR1ON bit. One additional count, in excess of
the counts accrued during this extra Q period, may
be accumulated before the TMR1ON bit is eventu-
ally cleared in the next instruction. The occurrence
of this additional count is dependent on the phase
relationship between OSC1, or the internal system
clock, and T1CKI.
CODE EXAMPLE :
**************************************************************************************
;
Call this routine to stop Timer1 asynchronous counting
;
;
Timer1 is stopped after the timer is changed to synchronous mode
;
The captured timer value resides in TMR1H and TMR1L at the completion of this
;
routine.

3.
Module: ECCP (Compare Mode)
The CCP1 output latch, observed on RB3/CCP1/
P1A, can change unexpectedly when the ECCP
module is changed from a set output on match
(CCP1CON<3:0> = “1000”) to clear output on
match (CCP1CON<3:0> = “1001”) or vice versa.
This condition will occur, following an ECCP
Reset, at the third iteration of the following
sequence:
1.
2.
CCPR1<3:0> is changed from “1001” to
“1000” or vice versa.
The TMR1H:TMR1L register pair matches
the CCP1R1H:CCPR1L register pair.
The apparent inverted response will persist until
the CCP1CON<3> bit is cleared (exiting Compare
mode). Interrupts always occur correctly on the
match condition. The error is only in the state of the
CCP1 output latch.
Work around
Option 1
Use the ECCP toggle output on compare match
mode (CCP1CON<3:0> = “0010”).
Option 2
Do not selectively change the CCP1CON<0> bit.
Instead, perform the following:
• Set the RB3 data latch to the same state as
the CCP1 output latch (movf PORTB, f) to
avoid an output glitch when the CCP1CON
register is cleared.
• Next, clear the CCP1CON register (clrf
CCP1CON).
• Finally, set the CCP1CON<3:0> bits to the
next desired output on Compare Match
mode.
Step 1 of the third iteration will cause the CCP1
output latch to immediately, and erroneously,
change to the inverse of the CCPR1<0> bit. This
gives the appearance of an inverted ECCP
response to the third, and subsequent, compare
match events.
