4.0 PROGRAM/VERIFY MODE

In Program/Verify mode, the program memory and the

configuration memory can be accessed and

programmed in serial fashion. ICSPDAT and

ICSPCLK are used for the data and the clock,

respectively. All commands and data words are

transmitted LSb first. Data changes on the rising edge

of the ICSPCLK and latched on the falling edge. In

Program/Verify mode both the ICSPDAT and

ICSPCLK are Schmitt Trigger inputs. The sequence

that enters the device into Program/Verify mode

places all other logic into the Reset state. Upon

entering Program/Verify mode, all I/Os are

automatically configured as high-impedance inputs

and the address is cleared.

4.1 High-Voltage Program/Verify Mode

Entry and Exit

There are two different methods of entering Program/

Verify mode via high-voltage:

• VPP – First entry mode

• VDD – First entry mode

4.1.1 VPP – FIRST ENTRY MODE

To enter Program/Verify mode via the VPP-first method

the following sequence must be followed:

1. Hold ICSPCLK and ICSPDAT low. All other pins

should be unpowered.

2. Raise the voltage on MCLR from 0V to VIHH.

3. Raise the voltage on VDD FROM 0V to the

desired operating voltage.

The VPP-first entry prevents the device from executing

code prior to entering Program/Verify mode. For

example, when Configuration Word 1 has MCLR

disabled (MCLRE = 0), the power-up time is disabled

(PWRTE = 0), the internal oscillator is selected

(FOSC = 100), and ICSPCLK and ICSPDAT pins are

driven by the user application, the device will execute

code. Since this may prevent entry, VPP-first entry

mode is strongly recommended. See the timing

diagram in Figure 8-2.

4.1.2 VDD – FIRST ENTRY MODE

To enter Program/Verify mode via the VDD-first method

the following sequence must be followed:

1. Hold ICSPCLK and ICSPDAT low.

2. Raise the voltage on VDD from 0V to the desired

operating voltage.

3. Raise the voltage on MCLR from VDD or below

to VIHH.

The VDD-first method is useful when programming the

device when VDD is already applied, for it is not

necessary to disconnect VDD to enter Program/Verify

mode. See the timing diagram in Figure 8-1.

4.1.3 PROGRAM/VERIFY MODE EXIT

To exit Program/Verify mode take MCLR to VDD or

lower (VIL). See Figures 8-3 and 8-4.

4.2 Low-Voltage Programming (LVP)

Mode

The Low-Voltage Programming mode allows the

PIC16F/LF182X and PIC12F/LF1822 devices to be

programmed using VDD only, without high voltage.

When the LVP bit of Configuration Word 2 register is

set to ‘1’, the low-voltage ICSP programming entry is

enabled. To disable the Low-Voltage ICSP mode, the

LVP bit must be programmed to ‘0’. This can only be

done while in the High-Voltage Entry mode.

Entry into the Low-Voltage ICSP Program/Verify modes

requires the following steps:

1. MCLR is brought to VIL.

2. A 32-bit key sequence is presented on

ICSPDAT, while clocking ICSPCLK.

The key sequence is a specific 32-bit pattern, '0100

1101 0100 0011 0100 1000 0101 0000' (more

easily remembered as MCHP in ASCII). The device will

enter Program/Verify mode only if the sequence is

valid. The Least Significant bit of the Least Significant

nibble must be shifted in first.

Once the key sequence is complete, MCLR must be

held at VIL for as long as Program/Verify mode is to be

maintained.

For low-voltage programming timing, see Figure 8-8

and Figure 8-9.

Exiting Program/Verify mode is done by no longer

driving MCLR to VIL. See Figure 8-8 and Figure 8-9.

Note:

To enter LVP mode, the LSB of the Least

Significant nibble must be shifted in first.

This differs from entering the key

sequence on other parts.
