PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 Families Flash Programming Specification 1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW This document defines the programming specification for the PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 families of 16-bit microcontroller devices. This programming specification is required only for those developing programming support for the PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 families. Customers using only one of these devices should use development tools that already provide support for device programming. The Enhanced In-Circuit Serial Programming (Enhanced ICSP) protocol uses a faster method that takes advantage of the programming executive, as illustrated in Figure 2-1. The programming executive provides all the necessary functionality to erase, program and verify the chip through a small command set. The command set allows the programmer to program the PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 devices without having to deal with the low-level programming protocols of the chip. This specification includes programming specifications for the following devices: FIGURE 2-1: * PIC24FJ256GA106 * PIC24FJ256GB106 * PIC24FJ256GA108 * PIC24FJ256GB108 * PIC24FJ256GA110 * PIC24FJ256GB110 * PIC24FJ192GA106 * PIC24FJ192GB106 * PIC24FJ192GA108 * PIC24FJ192GB108 * PIC24FJ192GA110 * PIC24FJ192GB110 * PIC24FJ128GA106 * PIC24FJ128GB106 * PIC24FJ128GA108 * PIC24FJ128GB108 * PIC24FJ128GA110 * PIC24FJ128GB110 * PIC24FJ64GA106 * PIC24FJ64GB106 * PIC24FJ64GA108 * PIC24FJ64GB108 * PIC24FJ64GA110 * PIC24FJ64GB110 2.0 PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW OF THE PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 FAMILIES There are two methods of programming the PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 families of devices discussed in this programming specification. They are: PROGRAMMING SYSTEM OVERVIEW FOR ENHANCED ICSPTM PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 Programmer Programming Executive On-Chip Memory This specification is divided into major sections that describe the programming methods independently. Section 4.0 "Device Programming - Enhanced ICSP" describes the Run-Time Self-Programming (RTSP) method. Section 3.0 "Device Programming - ICSP" describes the In-Circuit Serial Programming method. * In-Circuit Serial ProgrammingTM (ICSPTM) * Enhanced In-Circuit Serial Programming (Enhanced ICSP) The ICSP programming method is the most direct method to program the device; however, it is also the slower of the two methods. It provides native, low-level programming capability to erase, program and verify the chip. 2011 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39907B-page 1 PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 2.1 Power Requirements All devices in the PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 families are dual voltage supply designs: one supply for the core and peripherals, and another for the I/O pins. A regulator is provided on-chip to alleviate the need for two external voltage supplies. All PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 devices power their core digital logic at a nominal 2.5V. To simplify system design, all devices in the PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 families incorporate an on-chip regulator that allows the device to run its core logic from VDD. The regulator provides power to the core from the other VDD pins. A low-ESR capacitor (such as tantalum) must be connected to the VDDCORE pin (Table 2-1 and Figure 2-2). This helps to maintain the stability of the regulator. The specifications for core voltage and capacitance are listed in Section 7.0 "AC/DC Characteristics and Timing Requirements". FIGURE 2-2: CONNECTIONS FOR THE ON-CHIP REGULATOR Regulator Enabled (ENVREG tied to VDD): 3.3V PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 VDD ENVREG VDDCORE/VCAP CEFC (10 F typ) VSS Regulator Disabled (ENVREG tied to ground): 2.5V(1) 3.3V(1) PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 VDD 2.2 The Flash program memory on PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 devices has a specific write/erase requirement that must be adhered to for proper device operation. The rule is that any given word in memory must not be written more than twice before erasing the page in which it is located. Thus, the easiest way to conform to this rule is to write all the data in a programming block within one write cycle. The programming methods specified in this specification comply with this requirement. Note: 2.3 Writing to a location multiple times without erasing is not recommended. Pin Diagrams The pin diagrams for the PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 families are shown in the following figures. The pins that are required for programming are listed in Table 2-1 and are shown in bold letters in the figures. Refer to the appropriate device data sheet for complete pin descriptions. 2.3.1 ENVREG Program Memory Write/Erase Requirements VDDCORE/VCAP VSS Regulator Disabled (VDD tied to VDDCORE): 2.5V(1) PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 VDD ENVREG VDDCORE/VCAP VSS Note 1: These are typical operating voltages. Refer to Section 7.0 "AC/DC Characteristics and Timing Requirements" for the full operating ranges of VDD and VDDCORE. PGCx AND PGDx PIN PAIRS All of the devices in the PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 families have three separate pairs of programming pins, labelled as PGEC1/PGED1, PGEC2/PGED2, and PGEC3/PGED3. Any one of these pin pairs may be used for device programming by either ICSP or Enhanced ICSP. Unlike voltage supply and ground pins, it is not necessary to connect all three pin pairs to program the device. However, the programming method must use both pins of the same pair.

PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 2.4 Memory Map The program memory map extends from 000000h to FFFFFEh. Code storage is located at the base of the memory map and supports up to 87K instruction words (about 256 Kbytes). Table 2-2 shows the program memory size, and number of erase and program blocks present in each device variant. Each erase block, or page, contains 512 instructions, and each program block, or row, contains 64 instructions. Locations, 800000h through 8007FEh, are reserved for executive code memory. This region stores the programming executive and the debugging executive. The programming executive is used for device programming and the debugging executive is used for in-circuit debugging. This region of memory can not be used to store user code. TABLE 2-2: The last three implemented program memory locations are reserved for the Flash Configuration Words. In PIC24FJXXXGB1 family devices, the last three locations are used for the Configuration Words; for PIC24FJXXXGA1 devices, the last two locations are used. The reserved addresses are shown in Table 2-2. Locations, FF0000h and FF0002h, are reserved for the Device ID registers. These bits can be used by the programmer to identify what device type is being programmed. They are described in Section 6.1 "Device ID". The Device ID registers read out normally, even after code protection is applied.

PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 3.0 DEVICE PROGRAMMING - ICSP FIGURE 3-1: HIGH-LEVEL ICSPTM PROGRAMMING FLOW ICSP mode is a special programming protocol that allows you to read and write to the memory of the PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 devices. The ICSP mode is the most direct method used to program the device; note, however, that Enhanced ICSP is faster. ICSP mode also has the ability to read the contents of executive memory to determine if the programming executive is present. This capability is accomplished by applying control codes and instructions, serially to the device, using pins, PGCx and PGDx. Start Enter ICSPTM Perform Chip Erase In ICSP mode, the system clock is taken from the PGCx pin, regardless of the device's oscillator Configuration bits. All instructions are shifted serially into an internal buffer, then loaded into the Instruction Register (IR) and executed. No program fetching occurs from internal memory. Instructions are fed in 24 bits at a time. PGDx is used to shift data in and PGCx is used as both the serial shift clock and the CPU execution clock. Note: Program Memory Verify Program Program Configuration Bits During ICSP operation, the operating frequency of PGCx must not exceed 10 MHz. Verify Configuration Bits Exit ICSP 3.1 Overview of the Programming Process Figure 3-1 shows the high-level overview of the programming process. After entering ICSP mode, the first action is to Chip Erase the device. Next, the code memory is programmed, followed by the device Configuration registers. Code memory (including the Configuration registers) is then verified to ensure that programming was successful. Then, program the code-protect Configuration bits, if required. Done 3.2 ICSP Operation Upon entry into ICSP mode, the CPU is Idle. Execution of the CPU is governed by an internal state machine. A 4-bit control code is clocked in using PGCx and PGDx, and this control code is used to command the CPU (see Table 3-1). The SIX control code is used to send instructions to the CPU for execution, and the REGOUT control code is used to read data out of the device via the VISI register. TABLE 3-1: CPU CONTROL CODES IN ICSPTM MODE 4-Bit Mnemonic Control Code 0000b SIX Shift in 24-bit instruction and execute. 0001b REGOUT Shift out the VISI (0784h) register. 0010b-1111b N/A 2011 Microchip Technology Inc. Description Reserved. DS39907B-page 11 PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 3.2.1 SIX SERIAL INSTRUCTION EXECUTION Coming out of Reset, the first 4-bit control code is always forced to SIX and a forced NOP instruction is executed by the CPU. Five additional PGCx clocks are needed on start-up, resulting in a 9-bit SIX command instead of the normal 4-bit SIX command. The SIX control code allows execution of PIC24F family assembly instructions. When the SIX code is received, the CPU is suspended for 24 clock cycles, as the instruction is then clocked into the internal buffer. Once the instruction is shifted in, the state machine allows it to be executed over the next four PGC clock cycles. While the received instruction is executed, the state machine simultaneously shifts in the next 4-bit command (see Figure 3-2). FIGURE 3-2: After the forced SIX is clocked in, ICSP operation resumes as normal. That is, the next 24 clock cycles load the first instruction word to the CPU. Note: To account for this forced NOP, all example code in this specification begins with a NOP to ensure that no data is lost.

As a result, the code examples in this specification may not match those for performing the same functions during normal device operation. The important differences are: * Two-word instructions require two SIX operations to clock in all the necessary data. Examples of two-word instructions are GOTO and CALL. * Two-cycle instructions require two SIX operations. The first SIX operation shifts in the instruction and begins to execute it. A second SIX operation - which should shift in a NOP to avoid losing data - provides the CPU clocks required to finish executing the instruction. Examples of two-cycle instructions are table read and table write instructions. * The CPU does not automatically stall to account for pipeline changes. A CPU stall occurs when an instruction modifies a register that is used for Indirect Addressing by the following instruction. DS39907B-page 12 During normal operation, the CPU will automatically force a NOP while the new data is read. When using ICSP, there is no automatic stall, so any indirect references to a recently modified register should be preceded by a NOP. For example, the instructions, MOV #0x0,W0 and MOV [W0],W1, must have a NOP inserted between them. If a two-cycle instruction modifies a register that is used indirectly, it will require two following NOPs: one to execute the second half of the instruction and a second to stall the CPU to correct the pipeline. Instructions, such as TBLWTL [W0++],[W1], should be followed by two NOPs. * The device Program Counter (PC) continues to automatically increment during ICSP instruction execution, even though the Flash memory is not being used. As a result, the PC may be incremented to point to invalid memory locations. Invalid memory spaces include unimplemented Flash addresses and the vector space (locations 0x0 to 0x1FF). If the PC points to these locations, the device will reset, possibly interrupting the ICSP operation. To prevent this, instructions should be periodically executed to reset the PC to a safe space. The optimal method to accomplish this is to perform a GOTO 0x200. 2011 Microchip Technology Inc. PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 3.2.2 REGOUT SERIAL INSTRUCTION EXECUTION Note 1: After the contents of VISI are shifted out, the PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 devices maintain PGDx as an output until the first rising edge of the next clock is received. The REGOUT control code allows for data to be extracted from the device in ICSP mode. It is used to clock the contents of the VISI register, out of the device, over the PGDx pin. After the REGOUT control code is received, the CPU is held Idle for 8 cycles. After these 8 cycles, an additional 16 cycles are required to clock the data out (see Figure 3-3). 2: Data changes on the falling edge and latches on the rising edge of PGCx. For all data transmissions, the Least Significant bit (LSb) is transmitted first. The REGOUT code is unique because the PGDx pin is an input when the control code is transmitted to the device. However, after the control code is processed, the PGDx pin becomes an output as the VISI register is shifted out.

The device will enter Program/Verify mode only if the sequence is valid. The Most Significant bit (MSb) of the most significant nibble must be shifted in first. As shown in Figure 3-4, entering ICSP Program/Verify mode requires three steps: 1. 2. 3. MCLR is briefly driven high, then low. A 32-bit key sequence is clocked into PGDx. MCLR is then driven high within a specified period of time and held. Once the key sequence is complete, VIH must be applied to MCLR and held at that level for as long as Program/Verify mode is to be maintained. An interval of at least time, P19 and P7, must elapse before presenting data on PGDx. Signals appearing on PGCx before P7 has elapsed will not be interpreted as valid. The programming voltage applied to MCLR is VIH, which is essentially VDD in the case of PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 devices. There is no minimum time requirement for holding at VIH. After VIH is removed, an interval of at least P18 must elapse before presenting the key sequence on PGDx.

PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 3.4 Flash Memory Programming in ICSP Mode 3.4.1 PROGRAMMING OPERATIONS Flash memory write and erase operations are controlled by the NVMCON register. Programming is performed by setting NVMCON to select the type of erase operation (Table 3-2) or write operation (Table 3-3) and initiating the programming by setting the WR control bit (NVMCON<15>). In ICSP mode, all programming operations are self-timed. There is an internal delay between the user setting the WR control bit and the automatic clearing of the WR control bit when the programming operation is complete. Please refer to Section 7.0 "AC/DC Characteristics and Timing Requirements" for information about the delays associated with various programming operations. TABLE 3-2: NVMCON Value NVMCON ERASE OPERATIONS Erase Operation 404Fh Erase all code memory, executive memory and Configuration registers (does not erase Unit ID or Device ID registers). 4042h Erase a page of code memory or executive memory. TABLE 3-3: NVMCON Value NVMCON WRITE OPERATIONS Write Operation 4003h Write a Configuration Word register. 4001h Program 1 row (64 instruction words) of code memory or executive memory. 3.4.2 STARTING AND STOPPING A PROGRAMMING CYCLE The WR bit (NVMCON<15>) is used to start an erase or write cycle. Setting the WR bit initiates the programming cycle. All erase and write cycles are self-timed. The WR bit should be polled to determine if the erase or write cycle has been completed. Starting a programming cycle is performed as follows: BSET 3.5 Erasing Program Memory The procedure for erasing program memory (all of code memory, data memory, executive memory and code-protect bits) consists of setting NVMCON to 404Fh and executing the programming cycle. A Chip Erase can erase all of user memory or all of both the user and configuration memory. A table write instruction should be executed prior to performing the Chip Erase to select which sections are erased. When this table write instruction is executed: * If the TBLPAG register points to user space (is less than 0x80), the Chip Erase will erase only user memory. * If TBLPAG points to configuration memory space (is greater than or equal to 0x80), the Chip Erase will erase both user and configuration memory. If configuration memory space is erased, the internal oscillator Calibration Word, located at 0x807FE, will be erased. This location should be stored prior to performing a whole Chip Erase and restored afterward to prevent internal oscillators from becoming uncalibrated. Figure 3-5 shows the ICSP programming process for performing a Chip Erase. This process includes the ICSP command code, which must be transmitted (for each instruction), Least Significant bit first, using the PGCx and PGDx pins (see Figure 3-2). Note: Program memory must be erased before writing any data to program memory.

NOP 2011 Microchip Technology Inc. PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 3.6 Writing Code Memory The procedure for writing code memory is the same as the procedure for writing the Configuration registers, except that 64 instruction words are programmed at a time. To facilitate this operation, working registers, W0:W5, are used as temporary holding registers for the data to be programmed. Table 3-5 shows the ICSP programming details, including the serial pattern with the ICSP command code, which must be transmitted, Least Significant bit first, using the PGCx and PGDx pins (see Figure 3-2). In Step 1, the Reset vector is exited. In Step 2, the NVMCON register is initialized for programming a full row of code memory. In Step 3, the 24-bit starting destination address for programming is loaded into the TBLPAG register and W7 register. (The upper byte of the starting destination address is stored in TBLPAG and the lower 16 bits of the destination address are stored in W7.) In Step 5, eight TBLWT instructions are used to copy the data from W0:W5 to the write latches of code memory. Since code memory is programmed 64 instruction words at a time, Steps 4 and 5 are repeated 16 times to load all the write latches (Step 6). After the write latches are loaded, programming is initiated by writing to the NVMCON register in Steps 7 and 8. In Step 9, the internal PC is reset to 200h. This is a precautionary measure to prevent the PC from incrementing into unimplemented memory when large devices are being programmed. Lastly, in Step 10, Steps 3-9 are repeated until all of code memory is programmed.

DS39907B-page 19 PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 3.7 Writing Configuration Words Device configuration for PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 devices is stored in Flash Configuration Words at the end of the user space program memory, and in multiple register Configuration Words located in the test space. These registers reflect values read at any Reset from program memory locations. The values for the Configuration Words for the default device configurations are listed in Table 3-6. The values can be changed only by programming the content of the corresponding Flash Configuration Word and resetting the device. The Reset forces an automatic reload of the Flash stored configuration values by sequencing through the dedicated Flash Configuration Words and transferring the data into the Configuration registers. For the PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 families, certain Configuration bits have default states that must always be maintained to ensure device functionality, regardless of the settings of other Configuration bits. These bits and their values are listed in Table 3-7. To change the values of the Flash Configuration Word once it has been programmed, the device must be Chip Erased, as described in Section 3.5 "Erasing Program Memory", and reprogrammed to the desired value. It is not possible to program a `0' to `1', but they may be programmed from a `1' to `0' to enable code protection.

In Step 3, the 24-bit starting destination address for programming is loaded into the TBLPAG register and W7 register. The TBLPAG register must be loaded with the following: * 64-Kbyte devices: 00h * 128, 192 and 256-Kbyte devices: 01h To verify the data by reading the Configuration Words after performing the write in order, the code protection bits initially should be programmed to a `1' to ensure that the verification can be performed properly. After verification is finished, the code protection bit can be programmed to a `0' by using a word write to the appropriate Configuration Word. 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.

The Configuration registers are verified with the rest of the code. The verify process is shown in the flowchart in Figure 3-8. Memory reads occur a single byte at a time, so two bytes must be read to compare against the word in the programmer's buffer. Refer to Section 3.8 "Reading Code Memory" for implementation details of reading code memory. Note: Because the Configuration registers include the device code protection bit, code memory should be verified immediately after writing if code protection is enabled. This is because the device will not be readable or verifiable if a device Reset occurs after the code-protect bit in CW1 has been cleared. FIGURE 3-8: VERIFY CODE MEMORY FLOW 3.11 Reading the Application ID Word The Application ID Word is stored at address, 8007F0h, in executive code memory. To read this memory location, you must use the SIX control code to move this program memory location to the VISI register. Then, the REGOUT control code must be used to clock the contents of the VISI register out of the device. The corresponding control and instruction codes that must be serially transmitted to the device to perform this operation are shown in Table 3-11. After the programmer has clocked out the Application ID Word, it must be inspected. If the Application ID has the value, CBh, the programming executive is resident in memory and the device can be programmed using the mechanism described in Section 4.0 "Device Programming - Enhanced ICSP". However, if the Application ID has any other value, the programming executive is not resident in memory; it must be loaded to memory before the device can be programmed. The procedure for loading the programming executive to memory is described in Section 5.4 "Programming the Programming Executive to Memory". 3.12 Exiting ICSP Mode Exiting Program/Verify mode is done by removing VIH from MCLR, as shown in Figure 3-9. The only requirement for exit is that an interval, P16, should elapse between the last clock and program signals on PGCx and PGDx before removing VIH.

The programming executive resides in executive memory (separate from code memory) and is executed when Enhanced ICSP Programming mode is entered. The programming executive provides the mechanism for the programmer (host device) to program and verify the PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 devices using a simple command set and communication protocol. There are several basic functions provided by the programming executive: * * * * * After the programming executive has been verified in memory (or loaded if not present), the PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 families can be programmed using the command set shown in Table 4-1. FIGURE 4-1: Start Enter Enhanced ICSPTM Perform Chip Erase Read Memory Erase Memory Program Memory Blank Check Read Executive Firmware Revision Program Memory The programming executive performs the low-level tasks required for erasing, programming and verifying a device. This allows the programmer to program the device by issuing the appropriate commands and data. Table 4-1 summarizes the commands. A detailed description for each command is provided in Section 5.2 "Programming Executive Commands".

After entering Enhanced ICSP mode, the programming executive is verified. Next, the device is erased. Then, the code memory is programmed, followed by the configuration locations. Code memory (including the Configuration registers) is then verified to ensure that programming was successful. DS39907B-page 26 Done 4.2 Confirming the Presence of the Programming Executive Before programming can begin, the programmer must confirm that the programming executive is stored in executive memory. The procedure for this task is shown in Figure 4-2. First, In-Circuit Serial Programming mode (ICSP) is entered. Then, the unique Application ID Word stored in executive memory is read. If the programming executive is resident, the Application ID Word is CBh, which means programming can resume as normal. However, if the Application ID Word is not CBh, the programming executive must be programmed to executive code memory using the method described in Section 5.4 "Programming the Programming Executive to Memory". Section 3.0 "Device Programming - ICSP" describes the ICSP programming method. Section 3.11 "Reading the Application ID Word" describes the procedure for reading the Application ID Word in ICSP mode. 2011 Microchip Technology Inc. PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 FIGURE 4-2: CONFIRMING PRESENCE OF PROGRAMMING EXECUTIVE 4.3 Entering Enhanced ICSP Mode As shown in Figure 4-3, entering Enhanced ICSP Program/Verify mode requires three steps: 1. 2. 3. Start Enter ICSPTM Mode The MCLR pin is briefly driven high, then low. A 32-bit key sequence is clocked into PGDx. 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 PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 devices. There is no minimum time requirement for holding at VIH. After VIH is removed, an interval of at least P18 must elapse before presenting the key sequence on PGDx. Read the Application ID from Address 807F0h Is Application ID CBh? The key sequence is a specific 32-bit pattern: `0100 1101 0100 0011 0100 1000 0101 0000' (more easily remembered as 4D434850h in hexadecimal format). The device will enter Program/Verify mode only if the key sequence is valid. The Most Significant bit (MSb) of the most significant nibble must be shifted in first. No Yes Prog. Executive is Resident in Memory Prog. Executive must be Programmed Once the key sequence is complete, VIH must be applied to MCLR and held at that level for as long as Program/Verify mode is to be maintained. An interval of at least time, P19 and P7, must elapse before presenting data on PGDx. Signals appearing on PGDx before P7 has elapsed will not be interpreted as valid. Finish On successful entry, the program memory can be accessed and programmed in serial fashion. While in the Program/Verify mode, all unused I/Os are placed in the high-impedance state.

A blank or erased memory location is always read as `1'. Start The Device ID registers (FF0002h:FF0000h) can be ignored by the Blank Check since this region stores device information that cannot be erased. The device Configuration registers are also ignored by the Blank Check. Additionally, all unimplemented memory space should be ignored by the Blank Check. BaseAddress = 00h RemainingCmds = 1368 Send PROGP Command to Program BaseAddress The QBLANK command is used for the Blank Check. It determines if the code memory is erased by testing these memory regions. A `BLANK' or `NOT BLANK' response is returned. If it is determined that the device is not blank, it must be erased before attempting to program the chip. 4.5 4.5.1 Is PROGP response PASS? Code Memory Programming Yes PROGRAMMING METHODOLOGY Code memory is programmed with the PROGP command. PROGP programs one row of code memory, starting from the memory address specified in the command. The number of PROGP commands required to program a device depends on the number of write blocks that must be programmed in the device. No RemainingCmds = RemainingCmds - 1 BaseAddress = BaseAddress + 80h No Are RemainingCmds 0? A flowchart for programming the code memory of the PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 families is shown in Figure 4-4. In this example, all 87K instruction words of a 256-Kbyte device are programmed. First, the number of commands to send (called `RemainingCmds' in the flowchart) is set to 1368 and the destination address (called `BaseAddress') is set to `0'. Next, one write block in the device is programmed with a PROGP command. Each PROGP command contains data for one row of code memory of the device. After the first command is processed successfully, `RemainingCmds' is decremented by 1 and compared with 0. Since there are more PROGP commands to send, `BaseAddress' is incremented by 80h to point to the next row of memory. 4.5.2 On the second PROGP command, the second row is programmed. This process is repeated until the entire device is programmed. No special handling must be performed when a panel boundary is crossed. Alternatively, you can have the programmer perform the verification after the entire device is programmed using a checksum computation. DS39907B-page 28 Yes Finish Failure Report Error PROGRAMMING VERIFICATION After code memory is programmed, the contents of memory can be verified to ensure that programming was successful. Verification requires code memory to be read back and compared against the copy held in the programmer's buffer. The READP command can be used to read back all of the programmed code memory. 2011 Microchip Technology Inc. PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 4.6 Configuration Bits Programming 4.6.1 OVERVIEW The descriptions for the Configuration bits in the Flash Configuration Words are shown in Table 4-2. Note: The PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 families have Configuration bits stored in the last three locations of implemented program memory (see Table 2-2 for locations). These bits can be set or cleared to select various device configurations. There are three types of Configuration bits: system operation bits, code-protect bits and unit ID bits. The system operation bits determine the power-on settings for system level components, such as oscillator and Watchdog Timer. The code-protect bits prevent program memory from being read and written. TABLE 4-2: Bit Field Although not implemented with a specific function, some Configuration bit positions have default states that must always be maintained to ensure device functionality, regardless of the settings of other Configuration bits. Refer to Table 3-7 for a list of these bit positions and their default states.

DS39907B-page 31 PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 4.6.2 PROGRAMMING METHODOLOGY Configuration bits may be programmed a single byte at a time using the PROGP command. This command specifies the configuration data and Configuration register address. When Configuration bits are programmed, any unimplemented or reserved bits must be programmed with a `1'. Two PROGP commands are required to program the Configuration bits. A flowchart for Configuration bit programming is shown in Figure 4-5. Note: 4.6.3 PROGRAMMING VERIFICATION After the Configuration bits are programmed, the contents of memory should be verified to ensure that the programming was successful. Verification requires the Configuration bits to be read back and compared against the copy held in the programmer's buffer. The READP command reads back the programmed Configuration bits and verifies that the programming was successful. If the General Segment Code-Protect bit (GCP) is programmed to `0', code memory is code-protected and can not be read. Code memory must be verified before enabling read protection. See Section 4.6.4 "Code-Protect Configuration Bits" for more information about code-protect Configuration bits.

DS39907B-page 32 2011 Microchip Technology Inc. PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 4.6.4 CODE-PROTECT CONFIGURATION BITS PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 family devices provide two complimentary methods to protect application code from overwrites and erasures. These also help to protect the device from inadvertent configuration changes during run time. Additional information is available in the product data sheet. 4.6.4.1 Exiting Enhanced ICSP Mode Exiting Program/Verify mode is done by removing VIH from MCLR, as shown in Figure 4-6. The only requirement for exit is that an interval, P16, should elapse between the last clock and program signals on PGCx and PGDx, before removing VIH. FIGURE 4-6: GENERAL SEGMENT PROTECTION For all devices in the PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 families, the on-chip program memory space is treated as a single block, known as the General Segment (GS). Code protection for this block is controlled by one Configuration bit, GCP. This bit inhibits external reads and writes to the program memory space. It has no direct effect in normal execution mode. Write protection is controlled by the GWRP bit in the Configuration Word. When GWRP is programmed to `0', internal write and erase operations to program memory are blocked. 4.6.4.2 4.7 EXITING ENHANCED ICSPTM MODE P16 P17 VIH MCLR VDD VIH PGDx PGCx PGDx = Input CODE SEGMENT PROTECTION In addition to global General Segment protection, a separate subrange of the program memory space can be individually protected against writes and erases. This area can be used for many purposes where a separate block of write and erase-protected code is needed, such as bootloader applications. Unlike common boot block implementations, the specially protected segment in PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 devices can be located by the user anywhere in the program space, and configured in a wide range of sizes. Code segment protection provides an added level of protection to a designated area of program memory by disabling the NVM safety interlock whenever a write or erase address falls within a specified range. It does not override general segment protection controlled by the GCP or GWRP bits. For example, if GCP and GWRP are enabled, enabling segmented code protection for the bottom half of program memory does not undo general segment protection for the top half. Note: Bulk Erasing in ICSP mode is the only way to reprogram code-protect bits from an ON state (`0') to an OFF state (`1'). 2011 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39907B-page 33 PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 5.0 THE PROGRAMMING EXECUTIVE 5.1 Programming Executive Communication FIGURE 5-2: P1 1 The programmer and programming executive have a master-slave relationship, where the programmer is the master programming device and the programming executive is the slave. PGCx All communication is initiated by the programmer in the form of a command. Only one command at a time can be sent to the programming executive. In turn, the programming executive only sends one response to the programmer after receiving and processing a command. The programming executive command set is described in Section 5.2 "Programming Executive Commands". The response set is described in Section 5.3 "Programming Executive Responses". PGDx 5.1.1 COMMUNICATION INTERFACE AND PROTOCOL The Enhanced ICSP interface is a 2-wire SPI, implemented using the PGCx and PGDx pins. The PGCx pin is used as a clock input pin and the clock source must be provided by the programmer. The PGDx pin is used for sending command data to, and receiving response data from, the programming executive. Data transmits to the device must change on the rising edge and hold on the falling edge. Data receives from the device must change on the falling edge and hold on the rising edge. All data transmissions are sent to the Most Significant bit (MSb) first, using 16-bit mode (see Figure 5-1). FIGURE 5-1: PROGRAMMING EXECUTIVE SERIAL TIMING FOR DATA RECEIVED FROM DEVICE P1 1 2 3 4 5 6 11 12 13 14 15 16 PGCx P1A P3 P1B P2 PGDx MSb 14 13 12 11 ... 5 4 3 PROGRAMMING EXECUTIVE SERIAL TIMING FOR DATA TRANSMITTED TO DEVICE 2 1 LSb 2 3 4 5 6 11 12 13 14 P1A 15 16 P3 P1B P2 MSb 14 13 12 11 ... 5 4 3 2 1 LSb Since a 2-wire SPI is used, and data transmissions are half duplex, a simple protocol is used to control the direction of PGDx. When the programmer completes a command transmission, it releases the PGDx line and allows the programming executive to drive this line high. The programming executive keeps the PGDx line high to indicate that it is processing the command. After the programming executive has processed the command, it brings PGDx low for 15 s to indicate to the programmer that the response is available to be clocked out. The programmer can begin to clock out the response 23 s after PGDx is brought low, and it must provide the necessary amount of clock pulses to receive the entire response from the programming executive. After the entire response is clocked out, the programmer should terminate the clock on PGCx until it is time to send another command to the programming executive. This protocol is shown in Figure 5-3. 5.1.2 SPI RATE In Enhanced ICSP mode, the PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 devices operate from the Internal Fast RC oscillator (FRCDIV), which has a nominal frequency of 8 MHz. This oscillator frequency yields an effective system clock frequency of 4 MHz. To ensure that the programmer does not clock too fast, it is recommended that a 4 MHz clock be provided by the programmer. 5.1.3 TIME-OUTS The programming executive uses no Watchdog Timer or time-out for transmitting responses to the programmer. If the programmer does not follow the flow control mechanism using PGCx, as described in Section 5.1.1 "Communication Interface and Protocol", it is possible that the programming executive will behave unexpectedly while trying to send a response to the programmer. Since the programming executive has no time-out, it is imperative that the programmer correctly follow the described communication protocol. As a safety measure, the programmer should use the command time-outs identified in Table 5-1. If the command time-out expires, the programmer should reset the programming executive and start programming the device again. DS39907B-page 34 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.

The 16-bit header consists of a 4-bit opcode field, which is used to identify the command, followed by a 12-bit command length field. 15 12 When 24-bit instruction words are transferred across the 16-bit SPI interface, they are packed to conserve space using the format shown in Figure 5-5. This format minimizes traffic over the SPI and provides the programming executive with data that is properly aligned for performing table write operations. 15 PACKED INSTRUCTION WORD FORMAT 8 7 0 LSW1 MSB2 MSB1 LSW2 LSWx: Least Significant 16 bits of instruction word MSBx: Most Significant Bytes of instruction word COMMAND FORMAT 11 PACKED DATA FORMAT FIGURE 5-5: COMMAND FORMAT FIGURE 5-4: PGCx = Input PGDx = Output 5.2.2 The programming executive command set is shown in Table 5-1.

Any command that is received which does 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 words since the SPI operates in 16-bit mode. The programming executive uses the command length field to determine the number of words to read from the SPI port. If the value of this field is incorrect, the command will not be properly received by the programming executive. 2011 Microchip Technology Inc. 5.2.3 PROGRAMMING EXECUTIVE ERROR HANDLING The programming executive will "NACK" all unsupported commands. Additionally, due to the memory constraints of the programming executive, no checking is performed on the data contained in the programmer command. It is the responsibility of the programmer to command the programming executive with valid command arguments or the programming operation may fail.

The response indicates if the command was processed correctly. It includes any required response data or error data. The programming executive response set is shown in Table 5-2. This table contains the opcode, mnemonic and description for each response. The response format is described in Section 5.3.1 "Response Format". TABLE 5-2: Opcode PROGRAMMING EXECUTIVE RESPONSE OP CODES Mnemonic Description 1h PASS Command successfully processed 2h FAIL Command unsuccessfully processed 3h NACK DS39907B-page 40 Command not known 8 7 Last_Cmd 0 QE_Code Length The QVER command queries the version of the programming executive software stored in test memory. The "version.revision" information is returned in the response's QE_Code using a single byte with the following format: main version in upper nibble and revision in the lower nibble (i.e., 23h means Version 2.3 of programming executive software). 5.3 RESPONSE FORMAT D_1 (if applicable) ... D_N (if applicable) Field Description Opcode Response opcode Last_Cmd Programmer command that generated the response QE_Code Query code or error code. Length Response length in 16-bit words (includes 2 header words) D_1 First 16-bit data word (if applicable) D_N Last 16-bit data word (if applicable) 5.3.1.1 Opcode Field The opcode is a 4-bit field in the first word of the response. The opcode indicates how the command was processed (see Table 5-2). If the command was processed successfully, the response opcode is PASS. If there was an error in processing the command, the response opcode is FAIL and the QE_Code indicates the reason for the failure. If the command sent to the programming executive is not identified, the programming executive returns a NACK response. 5.3.1.2 Last_Cmd Field The Last_Cmd is a 4-bit field in the first word of the response and indicates the command that the programming executive processed. Since the programming executive can only process one command at a time, this field is technically not required. However, it can be used to verify that the programming executive correctly received the command that the programmer transmitted. 2011 Microchip Technology Inc. PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 5.3.1.3 QE_Code Field The QE_Code is a byte in the first word of the response. This byte is used to return data for query commands and error codes for all other commands. When the programming executive processes one of the two query commands (QBLANK or QVER), the returned opcode is always PASS and the QE_Code holds the query response data. The format of the QE_Code for both queries is shown in Table 5-3. TABLE 5-3: Query QE_Code FOR QUERIES QE_Code QBLANK 0Fh = Code memory is NOT blank F0h = Code memory is blank QVER 0xMN, where programming executive software version = M.N (i.e., 32h means software version 3.2) When the programming executive processes any command other than a query, the QE_Code represents an error code. Supported error codes are shown in Table 5-4. If a command is successfully processed, the returned QE_Code is set to 0h, which indicates that there was no error in the command processing. If the verify of the programming for the PROGP or PROGC command fails, the QE_Code is set to 1h. For all other programming executive errors, the QE_Code is 2h. 2011 Microchip Technology Inc. TABLE 5-4: QE_Code FOR NON-QUERY COMMANDS QE_Code Description 0h No error 1h Verify failed 2h Other error 5.3.1.4 Response Length The response length indicates the length of the programming 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 packed instruction word format described in Section 5.2.2 "Packed Data Format". When reading an odd number of program memory words (N odd), the response to the READP command is (3 * (N + 1)/2 + 2) words. When reading an even number of program memory words (N even), the response to the READP command is (3 * N/2 + 2) words. DS39907B-page 41 PIC24FJXXXGA1/GB1 5.4 Programming the Programming Executive to Memory 5.4.1 OVERVIEW If it is determined that the programming executive is not present in executive memory (as described in Section 4.2 "Confirming the Presence of the Programming Executive"), it must be programmed into executive memory using ICSP, as described in Section 3.0 "Device Programming - ICSP". TABLE 5-5: Command (Binary) Storing the programming executive to executive memory is similar to normal programming of code memory. Namely, the executive memory must be erased, and then the programming executive must be programmed 64 words at a time. Erasing the last page of executive memory will cause the FRC oscillator calibration settings and device diagnostic data in the Diagnostic and Calibration Words, at addresses, 8007F0h to 8007FEh, to be erased. In order to retain this calibration, these memory locations should be read and stored prior to erasing executive memory. They should then be reprogrammed in the last words of program memory. This control flow is summarized in Table 5-5.
