7.9
Power-down Mode (Sleep)
7.10 Program Verification/Code
Protection
A device may be powered down (Sleep) and later
powered up (wake-up from Sleep).
If the code protection bit has not been programmed, the
on-chip program memory can be read out for
verification purposes.
7.9.1
SLEEP
The Power-Down mode is entered by executing a
SLEEPinstruction.
The first 64 locations and the last location (OSCCAL)
can be read, regardless of the code protection bit
setting.
If enabled, the Watchdog Timer will be cleared but
keeps running, the TO bit (STATUS<4>) is set, the PD
bit (STATUS<3>) is cleared and the oscillator driver is
turned off. The I/O ports maintain the status they had
before the SLEEP instruction was executed (driving
high, driving low or high-impedance).
The last memory location can be read regardless of the
code protection bit setting on the PIC12F508/509/
16F505 devices.
7.11 ID Locations
Note:
A Reset generated by a WDT time-out
does not drive the MCLR pin low.
Four memory locations are designated as ID locations
where the user can store checksum or other code
identification numbers. These locations are not
accessible during normal execution, but are readable
and writable during Program/Verify.
For lowest current consumption while powered down,
the T0CKI input should be at VDD or VSS and the
(GP3/RB3)/MCLR/VPP pin must be at a logic high
level if MCLR is enabled.
Use only the lower 4 bits of the ID locations and always
program the upper 8 bits as ‘0’s.
7.9.2
WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The device can wake-up from Sleep through one of
the following events:
7.12 In-Circuit Serial Programming™
The PIC12F508/509/16F505 microcontrollers can be
serially programmed while in the end application circuit.
This is simply done with two lines for clock and data,
and three other lines for power, ground and the
programming voltage. This allows customers to manu-
facture boards with unprogrammed devices and then
program the microcontroller just before shipping the
product. This also allows the most recent firmware, or
a custom firmware, to be programmed.
1. An external Reset input on (GP3/RB3)/MCLR/
VPP pin, when configured as MCLR.
2. A Watchdog Timer time-out Reset (if WDT was
enabled).
3. A change on input pin GP0/RB0, GP1/RB1,
GP3/RB3 or RB4 when wake-up on change is
enabled.
These events cause a device Reset. The TO, PD and
GPWUF/RBWUF bits can be used to determine the
cause of device Reset. The TO bit is cleared if a WDT
time-out occurred (and caused wake-up). The PD bit,
which is set on power-up, is cleared when SLEEP is
invoked. The GPWUF/RBWUF bit indicates a change
in state while in Sleep at pins GP0/RB0, GP1/RB1,
GP3/RB3 or RB4 (since the last file or bit operation on
GP/RB port).
The devices are placed into a Program/Verify mode by
holding the GP1/RB1 and GP0/RB0 pins low while rais-
ing the MCLR (VPP) pin from VIL to VIHH (see program-
ming
specification).
GP1/RB1
becomes
the
programming clock and GP0/RB0 becomes the
programming data. Both GP1/RB1 and GP0/RB0 are
Schmitt Trigger inputs in this mode.
After Reset, a 6-bit command is then supplied to the
device. Depending on the command, 14 bits of program
data are then supplied to or from the device, depending
if the command was a Load or a Read. For complete
details of serial programming, please refer to the
PIC12F508/509/16F505 Programming Specifications.
Note:
Caution: Right before entering Sleep,
read the input pins. When in Sleep, wake-
up occurs when the values at the pins
change from the state they were in at the
last reading. If a wake-up on change
occurs and the pins are not read before re-
entering Sleep, a wake-up will occur
immediately even if no pins change while
in Sleep mode.
A typical In-Circuit Serial Programming connection is
shown in Figure 7-16.
The WDT is cleared when the device wakes from
Sleep, regardless of the wake-up source.
