PIC18(L)F2X/4XK40
1.0 OVERVIEW
This programming specification describes an SPI-based programming method for the PIC18(L)F2X/4XK40 family of
microcontrollers. Section 3.0 “Programming Algorithms” describes the programming commands, programming
algorithms and electrical specifications which are used in that particular programming method. Appendix B contains
individual part numbers, device identification and checksum values, pinout and packaging information, and
Configuration Words.
1.1 Programming Data Flow
Nonvolatile Memory (NVM) programming data can be supplied by either the high-voltage In-Circuit Serial
Programming™ (ICSP™) interface or the low-voltage In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) interface. Data can be
programmed into the Program Flash Memory (PFM), Data EEPROM Memory, dedicated “User ID” locations and the
Configuration Words.
1.2 Write and/or Erase Selection
Erasing or writing is selected according to the command used to begin operation (see Table 3-1). The terminologies used
in this document, related to erasing/writing to the program memory, are defined in Table 1-1 and are detailed below.
1.2.1 ERASING MEMORY
Memory is erased by row or in bulk, where ‘bulk’ includes many subsets of the total memory space. The duration of the
erase is determined by the size of program memory. All Bulk ICSP Erase commands have minimum V
DD
requirements,
which are higher than the Row Erase and write requirements.
1.2.2 WRITING MEMORY
Memory is written one row at a time. Multiple load data for NVM commands is used to fill the row data latches. The
duration of the write can be determined either internally or externally.
1.2.3 MULTI-WORD PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
Program Flash Memory (PFM) panels include up to a 64-word (one row) programming interface. Refer to Table 3-3 for
row size of erase and write operations for the PIC18(L)F2X/4XK40 family. The row to be programmed must first be
erased, either with a Bulk Erase or a Row Erase.
Note 1: This is a SPI-compatible programming method with 8-bit commands.
2: The low-voltage entry code is now 32 clocks and MSb first, unlike previous PIC18 devices which had
33 clocks and LSb first.
