Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchips Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as unbreakable.
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchips code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.

PIC24FJ256DA210 FAMILY
1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW
This document contains device-specific information for
the following devices:
The PIC24FJ256DA210 family enhances on the exist-
ing line of Microchips 16-bit microcontrollers, adding a
new Graphics Controller (GFX) module to interface
with a graphical LCD display and also adds large data
RAM, up to 96 Kbytes. The PIC24FJ256DA210 family
allows the CPU to fetch data directly from an external
memory device using the EPMP module.
1.1 Core Features
1.1.1 16-BIT ARCHITECTURE
Central to all PIC24F devices is the 16-bit modified
Harvard architecture, first introduced with Microchips
dsPIC

Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs). The PIC24F

CPU core offers a wide range of enhancements, such
as:
16-bit data and 24-bit address paths with the
ability to move information between data and
memory spaces
Linear addressing of up to 12 Mbytes (program
space) and 32 Kbytes (data)
A 16-element working register array with built-in
software stack support
A 17 x 17 hardware multiplier with support for
integer math
Hardware support for 32 by 16-bit division
An instruction set that supports multiple
addressing modes and is optimized for high-level
languages, such as C
Operational performance up to 16 MIPS
1.1.2 POWER-SAVING TECHNOLOGY
All of the devices in the PIC24FJ256DA210 family
incorporate a range of features that can significantly
reduce power consumption during operation. Key
items include:
On-the-Fly Clock Switching: The device clock
can be changed under software control to the
Timer1 source or the internal, low-power RC
oscillator during operation, allowing the user to
incorporate power-saving ideas into their software
designs.
Doze Mode Operation: When timing-sensitive
applications, such as serial communications,
require the uninterrupted operation of peripherals,
the CPU clock speed can be selectively reduced,
allowing incremental power savings without
missing a beat.
Instruction-Based Power-Saving Modes: The
microcontroller can suspend all operations, or
selectively shut down its core while leaving its
peripherals active with a single instruction in
software.
1.1.3 OSCILLATOR OPTIONS AND
FEATURES
All of the devices in the PIC24FJ256DA210 family offer
five different oscillator options, allowing users a range
of choices in developing application hardware. These
include:
Two Crystal modes using crystals or ceramic
resonators.
Two External Clock modes offering the option of a
divide-by-2 clock output.
A Fast Internal Oscillator (FRC) with a nominal
8 MHz output, which can also be divided under
software control to provide clock speeds as low as
31 kHz.
A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier,
available to the external oscillator modes and the
FRC oscillator, which allows clock speeds of up to
32 MHz.
A separate Low-Power Internal RC Oscillator
(LPRC) with a fixed 31 kHz output, which provides
a low-power option for timing-insensitive
applications.
The internal oscillator block also provides a stable
reference source for the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
(FSCM). This option constantly monitors the main clock
source against a reference signal provided by the inter-
nal oscillator and enables the controller to switch to the
internal oscillator, allowing for continued low-speed
operation or a safe application shutdown.
1.1.4 EASY MIGRATION
Regardless of the memory size, all devices share the
same rich set of peripherals, allowing for a smooth
migration path as applications grow and evolve. The
consistent pinout scheme used throughout the entire
family also aids in migrating from one device to the next
larger, or even in jumping from 64-pin to 100-pin
devices.
The PIC24F family is pin compatible with devices in the
dsPIC33 family, and shares some compatibility with the
pinout schema for PIC18 and dsPIC30. This extends
the ability of applications to grow from the relatively
simple, to the powerful and complex, yet still selecting
a Microchip device.

1.2 Graphics Controller
With the PIC24FJ256DA210 family of devices,
Microchip introduces the Graphics Controller module,
which acts as an interface between the CPU (mainly
through SFRs) and a display. On-board RAM is pro-
vided for display buffer, scratch areas, images and
fonts. In some cases, the RAM requirements for the
display used exceeds the on-board RAM; external
memory connected through EPMP can be used.
This module provides acceleration for drawing points,
vertical and horizontal lines, rectangles, copying rect-
angles between different locations on screen, drawing
text and decompressing compressed data.
1.3 USB On-The-Go
The USB On-The-Go (USB OTG) module provides
on-chip functionality as a target device compatible with
the USB 2.0 standard, as well as limited stand-alone
functionality as a USB embedded host. By implement-
ing USB Host Negotiation Protocol (HNP), the module
can also dynamically switch between device and host
operation, allowing for a much wider range of versatile
USB enabled applications on a microcontroller
platform.
In addition to USB host functionality,
PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices provide a true
single chip USB solution, including an on-chip
transceiver and voltage regulator, and a voltage boost
generator for sourcing bus power during host
operations.
1.4 Other Special Features
Peripheral Pin Select: The Peripheral Pin Select
(PPS) feature allows most digital peripherals to be
mapped over a fixed set of digital I/O pins. Users
may independently map the input and/or output of
any one of the many digital peripherals to any one
of the I/O pins.
Communications: The PIC24FJ256DA210 family
incorporates a range of serial communication
peripherals to handle a range of application
requirements. There are three independent I
2
C
modules that support both Master and Slave
modes of operation. Devices also have, through
the PPS feature, four independent UARTs with
built-in IrDA

encoders/decoders and three SPI

modules.
Analog Features: All members of the
PIC24FJ256DA210 family include a 10-bit A/D
Converter (ADC) module and a triple comparator
module. The ADC module incorporates program-
mable acquisition time, allowing for a channel to
be selected and a conversion to be initiated
without waiting for a sampling period, and faster
sampling speeds. The comparator module
includes three analog comparators that are
configurable for a wide range of operations.
CTMU Interface: In addition to their other analog
features, members of the PIC24FJ256DA210
family include the CTMU interface module. This
provides a convenient method for precision time
measurement and pulse generation, and can
serve as an interface for capacitive sensors.
Enhanced Parallel Master/Parallel Slave Port:
There are general purpose I/O ports, which can
be configured for parallel data communications. In
this mode, the device can be master or slave on
the communication bus. 4-bit, 8-bit and 16-bit data
transfers, with up to 23 external address lines are
supported in Master modes.
Real-Time Clock and Calendar: (RTCC) This
module implements a full-featured clock and
calendar with alarm functions in hardware, freeing
up timer resources and program memory space
for use of the core application.

2.0 GUIDELINES FOR GETTING
STARTED WITH 16-BIT
MICROCONTROLLERS
2.1 Basic Connection Requirements
Getting started with the PIC24FJ256DA210 family of
16-bit microcontrollers requires attention to a minimal
set of device pin connections before proceeding with
development.
The following pins must always be connected:
All VDD and VSS pins
(see Section 2.2 Power Supply Pins)
All AVDD and AVSS pins, regardless of whether or
not the analog device features are used
(see Section 2.2 Power Supply Pins)
MCLR pin
(see Section 2.3 Master Clear (MCLR) Pin)
ENVREG/DISVREG and VCAP/VDDCORE pins
(PIC24FJ devices only)
(see Section 2.4 Voltage Regulator Pins
(ENVREG/DISVREG and VCAP/VDDCORE))
These pins must also be connected if they are being
used in the end application:
PGECx/PGEDx pins used for In-Circuit Serial
Programming (ICSP) and debugging purposes
(see Section 2.5 ICSP Pins)
OSCI and OSCO pins when an external oscillator
source is used
(see Section 2.6 External Oscillator Pins)
Additionally, the following pins may be required:
VREF+/VREF- pins used when external voltage
reference for analog modules is implemented
The minimum mandatory connections are shown in
Figure 2-1.
FIGURE 2-1: RECOMMENDED
MINIMUM CONNECTIONS
Note: The AVDD and AVSS pins must always be
connected, regardless of whether any of
the analog modules are being used.

2.2 Power Supply Pins
2.2.1 DECOUPLING CAPACITORS
The use of decoupling capacitors on every pair of
power supply pins, such as VDD, VSS, AVDD and
AVSS is required.
Consider the following criteria when using decoupling
capacitors:
Value and type of capacitor: A 0.1 F (100 nF),
10-20V capacitor is recommended. The capacitor
should be a low-ESR device with a resonance
frequency in the range of 200 MHz and higher.
Ceramic capacitors are recommended.
Placement on the printed circuit board: The
decoupling capacitors should be placed as close
to the pins as possible. It is recommended to
place the capacitors on the same side of the
board as the device. If space is constricted, the
capacitor can be placed on another layer on the
PCB using a via; however, ensure that the trace
length from the pin to the capacitor is no greater
than 0.25 inch (6 mm).
Handling high-frequency noise: If the board is
experiencing high-frequency noise (upward of
tens of MHz), add a second ceramic type capaci-
tor in parallel to the above described decoupling
capacitor. The value of the second capacitor can
be in the range of 0.01 F to 0.001 F. Place this
second capacitor next to each primary decoupling
capacitor. In high-speed circuit designs, consider
implementing a decade pair of capacitances as
close to the power and ground pins as possible
(e.g., 0.1 F in parallel with 0.001 F).
Maximizing performance: On the board layout
from the power supply circuit, run the power and
return traces to the decoupling capacitors first,
and then to the device pins. This ensures that the
decoupling capacitors are first in the power chain.
Equally important is to keep the trace length
between the capacitor and the power pins to a
minimum, thereby reducing PCB trace
inductance.
2.2.2 TANK CAPACITORS
On boards with power traces running longer than six
inches in length, it is suggested to use a tank capacitor
for integrated circuits including microcontrollers to
supply a local power source. The value of the tank
capacitor should be determined based on the trace
resistance that connects the power supply source to
the device, and the maximum current drawn by the
device in the application. In other words, select the tank
capacitor so that it meets the acceptable voltage sag at
the device. Typical values range from 4.7 F to 47 F.
2.3 Master Clear (MCLR) Pin
The MCLR pin provides two specific device
functions: device Reset, and device programming
and debugging. If programming and debugging are
not required in the end application, a direct
connection to VDD may be all that is required. The
addition of other components, to help increase the
applications resistance to spurious Resets from
voltage sags, may be beneficial. A typical
configuration is shown in Figure 2-1. Other circuit
designs may be implemented, depending on the
applications requirements.
During programming and debugging, the resistance
and capacitance that can be added to the pin must
be considered. Device programmers and debuggers
drive the MCLR pin. Consequently, specific voltage
levels (VIH and VIL) and fast signal transitions must
not be adversely affected. Therefore, specific values
of R1 and C1 will need to be adjusted based on the
application and PCB requirements. For example, it is
recommended that the capacitor, C1, be isolated
from the MCLR pin during programming and
debugging operations by using a jumper (Figure 2-2).
The jumper is replaced for normal run-time
operations.
Any components associated with the MCLR pin
should be placed within 0.25 inch (6 mm) of the pin.
FIGURE 2-2: EXAMPLE OF MCLR PIN
CONNECTIONS
Note 1: R1 s 10 kO is recommended. A suggested
starting value is 10 kO. Ensure that the
MCLR pin VIH and VIL specifications are met.
2: R2 s 470O will limit any current flowing into
MCLR from the external capacitor, C, in the
event of MCLR pin breakdown, due to
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) or Electrical
Overstress (EOS). Ensure that the MCLR pin
VIH and VIL specifications are met.

2.4 Voltage Regulator Pins
(ENVREG/DISVREG and
VCAP/VDDCORE)
The on-chip voltage regulator enable/disable pin
(ENVREG or DISVREG, depending on the device
family) must always be connected directly to either a
supply voltage or to ground. The particular connection
is determined by whether or not the regulator is to be
used:
For ENVREG, tie to VDD to enable the regulator,
or to ground to disable the regulator
For DISVREG, tie to ground to enable the
regulator or to VDD to disable the regulator
Refer to Section 27.2 On-Chip Voltage Regulator
for details on connecting and using the on-chip
regulator.
When the regulator is enabled, a low-ESR (<5)
capacitor is required on the VCAP/VDDCORE pin to
stabilize the voltage regulator output voltage. The
VCAP/VDDCORE pin must not be connected to VDD, and
must use a capacitor of 10 F connected to ground. The
type can be ceramic or tantalum. A suitable example is
the Murata GRM21BF50J106ZE01 (10 F, 6.3V) or
equivalent. Designers may use Figure 2-3 to evaluate
ESR equivalence of candidate devices.
The placement of this capacitor should be close to
VCAP/VDDCORE. It is recommended that the trace
length not exceed 0.25 inch (6 mm). Refer to
Section 30.0 Electrical Characteristics for
additional information.
When the regulator is disabled, the VCAP/VDDCORE pin
must be tied to a voltage supply at the VDDCORE level.
Refer to Section 30.0 Electrical Characteristics for
information on VDD and VDDCORE.
FIGURE 2-3: FREQUENCY vs. ESR
PERFORMANCE FOR
SUGGESTED VCAP
2.5 ICSP Pins
The PGECx and PGEDx pins are used for In-Circuit
Serial Programming (ICSP) and debugging purposes.
It is recommended to keep the trace length between
the ICSP connector and the ICSP pins on the device as
short as possible. If the ICSP connector is expected to
experience an ESD event, a series resistor is recom-
mended, with the value in the range of a few tens of
ohms, not to exceed 100.
Pull-up resistors, series diodes and capacitors on the
PGECx and PGEDx pins are not recommended as they
will interfere with the programmer/debugger communi-
cations to the device. If such discrete components are
an application requirement, they should be removed
from the circuit during programming and debugging.
Alternatively, refer to the AC/DC characteristics and
timing requirements information in the respective
device Flash programming specification for information
on capacitive loading limits and pin input voltage high
(VIH) and input low (VIL) requirements.
For device emulation, ensure that the Communication
Channel Select (i.e., PGECx/PGEDx pins) programmed
into the device matches the physical connections for the
ICSP to the Microchip debugger/emulator tool.
For more information on available Microchip
development tools connection requirements, refer to
Section 28.0 Development Support.
Note: This section applies only to PIC24FJ
devices with an on-chip voltage regulator.

2.6 External Oscillator Pins
Many microcontrollers have options for at least two
oscillators: a high-frequency primary oscillator and a
low-frequency secondary oscillator (refer to
Section 8.0 Oscillator Configuration for details).
The oscillator circuit should be placed on the same
side of the board as the device. Place the oscillator
circuit close to the respective oscillator pins with no
more than 0.5 inch (12 mm) between the circuit
components and the pins. The load capacitors should
be placed next to the oscillator itself, on the same side
of the board.
Use a grounded copper pour around the oscillator cir-
cuit to isolate it from surrounding circuits. The
grounded copper pour should be routed directly to the
MCU ground. Do not run any signal traces or power
traces inside the ground pour. Also, if using a two-sided
board, avoid any traces on the other side of the board
where the crystal is placed.
Layout suggestions are shown in Figure 2-4. In-line
packages may be handled with a single-sided layout
that completely encompasses the oscillator pins. With
fine-pitch packages, it is not always possible to com-
pletely surround the pins and components. A suitable
solution is to tie the broken guard sections to a mirrored
ground layer. In all cases, the guard trace(s) must be
returned to ground.
In planning the applications routing and I/O assign-
ments, ensure that adjacent port pins and other signals
in close proximity to the oscillator are benign (i.e., free
of high frequencies, short rise and fall times and other
similar noise).

oscillator circuits, please refer to these Microchip

2.7 Configuration of Analog and
Digital Pins During ICSP
Operations
If an ICSP compliant emulator is selected as a debug-
ger, it automatically initializes all of the A/D input pins
(ANx) as digital pins. Depending on the particular
device, this is done by setting all bits in the ADnPCFG
register(s), or clearing all bit in the ANSx registers.
All PIC24F devices will have either one or more
ADnPCFG registers or several ANSx registers (one for
each port); no device will have both. Refer to
(Section 23.0 10-Bit High-Speed A/D Converter)
for more specific information.
The bits in these registers that correspond to the A/D
pins that initialized the emulator must not be changed
by the user application firmware; otherwise,
communication errors will result between the debugger
and the device.
If your application needs to use certain A/D pins as
analog input pins during the debug session, the user
application must modify the appropriate bits during
initialization of the ADC module, as follows:
For devices with an ADnPCFG register, clear the
bits corresponding to the pin(s) to be configured
as analog. Do not change any other bits, particu-
larly those corresponding to the PGECx/PGEDx
pair, at any time.
For devices with ANSx registers, set the bits
corresponding to the pin(s) to be configured as
analog. Do not change any other bits, particularly
those corresponding to the PGECx/PGEDx pair,
at any time.
When a Microchip debugger/emulator is used as a
programmer, the user application firmware must
correctly configure the ADnPCFG or ANSx registers.
Automatic initialization of this register is only done
during debugger operation. Failure to correctly
configure the register(s) will result in all A/D pins being
recognized as analog input pins, resulting in the port
value being read as a logic '0', which may affect user
application functionality.
2.8 Unused I/Os
Unused I/O pins should be configured as outputs and
driven to a logic low state. Alternatively, connect a 1 k
to 10 k resistor to VSS on unused pins and drive the
output to logic low.

PIC24FJ256DA210 FAMILY
3.0 CPU
The PIC24F CPU has a 16-bit (data) modified Harvard
architecture with an enhanced instruction set and a
24-bit instruction word with a variable length opcode
field. The Program Counter (PC) is 23 bits wide and
addresses up to 4M instructions of user program
memory space. A single-cycle instruction prefetch
mechanism is used to help maintain throughput and
provides predictable execution. All instructions execute
in a single cycle, with the exception of instructions that
change the program flow, the double-word move
(MOV.D) instruction and the table instructions.
Overhead-free program loop constructs are supported
using the REPEAT instructions, which are interruptible
at any point.
PIC24F devices have sixteen, 16-bit working registers
in the programmers model. Each of the working
registers can act as a data, address or address offset
register. The 16
th
working register (W15) operates as a
Software Stack Pointer for interrupts and calls.
The lower 32 Kbytes of the data space can be
accessed linearly. The upper 32 Kbytes of the data
space are referred to as extended data space to which
the extended data RAM, EPMP memory space or
program memory can be mapped.
The Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) has been
significantly enhanced beyond that of the PIC18, but
maintains an acceptable level of backward compatibil-
ity. All PIC18 instructions and addressing modes are
supported, either directly, or through simple macros.
Many of the ISA enhancements have been driven by
compiler efficiency needs.
The core supports Inherent (no operand), Relative,
Literal, Memory Direct Addressing modes along with
three groups of addressing modes. All modes support
Register Direct and various Register Indirect modes.
Each group offers up to seven addressing modes.
Instructions are associated with predefined addressing
modes depending upon their functional requirements.
For most instructions, the core is capable of executing
a data (or program data) memory read, a working reg-
ister (data) read, a data memory write and a program
(instruction) memory read per instruction cycle. As a
result, three parameter instructions can be supported,
allowing trinary operations (that is, A + B = C) to be
executed in a single cycle.
A high-speed, 17-bit x 17-bit multiplier has been
included to significantly enhance the core arithmetic
capability and throughput. The multiplier supports
Signed, Unsigned and Mixed mode, 16-bit x 16-bit or
8-bit x 8-bit, integer multiplication. All multiply
instructions execute in a single cycle.
The 16-bit ALU has been enhanced with integer divide
assist hardware that supports an iterative non-restoring
divide algorithm. It operates in conjunction with the
REPEAT instruction looping mechanism and a selection
of iterative divide instructions to support 32-bit (or
16-bit), divided by 16-bit, integer signed and unsigned
division. All divide operations require 19 cycles to
complete but are interruptible at any cycle boundary.
The PIC24F has a vectored exception scheme with up
to 8 sources of non-maskable traps and up to 118 inter-
rupt sources. Each interrupt source can be assigned to
one of seven priority levels.
A block diagram of the CPU is shown in Figure 3-1.
3.1 Programmers Model
The programmers model for the PIC24F is shown in
Figure 3-2. All registers in the programmers model are
memory mapped and can be manipulated directly by
instructions. A description of each register is provided
in Table 3-1. All registers associated with the
programmers model are memory mapped.
Note: This data sheet summarizes the features
of this group of PIC24F devices. It is not
intended to be a comprehensive reference
source. For more information, refer to the

3.3 Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)
The PIC24F ALU is 16 bits wide and is capable of addi-
tion, subtraction, bit shifts and logic operations. Unless
otherwise mentioned, arithmetic operations are 2s
complement in nature. Depending on the operation, the
ALU may affect the values of the Carry (C), Zero (Z),
Negative (N), Overflow (OV) and Digit Carry (DC)
Status bits in the SR register. The C and DC Status bits
operate as Borrow and Digit Borrow bits, respectively,
for subtraction operations.
The ALU can perform 8-bit or 16-bit operations,
depending on the mode of the instruction that is used.
Data for the ALU operation can come from the W
register array, or data memory, depending on the
addressing mode of the instruction. Likewise, output
data from the ALU can be written to the W register array
or a data memory location.
The PIC24F CPU incorporates hardware support for
both multiplication and division. This includes a
dedicated hardware multiplier and support hardware

3.3.2 DIVIDER
The divide block supports signed and unsigned integer
divide operations with the following data sizes:
1. 32-bit signed/16-bit signed divide
2. 32-bit unsigned/16-bit unsigned divide
3. 16-bit signed/16-bit signed divide
4. 16-bit unsigned/16-bit unsigned divide
The quotient for all divide instructions ends up in W0
and the remainder in W1. 16-bit signed and unsigned
DIV instructions can specify any W register for both the
16-bit divisor (Wn), and any W register (aligned) pair
(W(m + 1):Wm) for the 32-bit dividend. The divide algo-
rithm takes one cycle per bit of divisor, so both
32-bit/16-bit and 16-bit/16-bit instructions take the
same number of cycles to execute.
3.3.3 MULTI-BIT SHIFT SUPPORT
The PIC24F ALU supports both single bit and
single-cycle, multi-bit arithmetic and logic shifts.
Multi-bit shifts are implemented using a shifter block,
capable of performing up to a 15-bit arithmetic right
shift, or up to a 15-bit left shift, in a single cycle. All
multi-bit shift instructions only support Register Direct
Addressing for both the operand source and result
destination.
A full summary of instructions that use the shift
operation is provided in Table 3-2.

4.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION
As Harvard architecture devices, PIC24F micro-
controllers feature separate program and data memory
spaces and busses. This architecture also allows direct
access of program memory from the data space during
code execution.
4.1 Program Memory Space
The program address memory space of the
PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices is 4M instructions.
The space is addressable by a 24-bit value derived
from either the 23-bit Program Counter (PC) during pro-
gram execution, or from table operation or data space
remapping, as described in Section 4.3 Interfacing
Program and Data Memory Spaces.
User access to the program memory space is restricted
to the lower half of the address range (000000h to
7FFFFFh). The exception is the use of TBLRD/TBLWT
operations, which use TBLPAG<7> to permit access to
the Configuration bits and Device ID sections of the
configuration memory space.
Memory maps for the PIC24FJ256DA210 family of
devices are shown in Figure 4-1.

4.1.1 PROGRAM MEMORY
ORGANIZATION
The program memory space is organized in
word-addressable blocks. Although it is treated as
24 bits wide, it is more appropriate to think of each
address of the program memory as a lower and upper
word, with the upper byte of the upper word being
unimplemented. The lower word always has an even
address, while the upper word has an odd address
(Figure 4-2).
Program memory addresses are always word-aligned
on the lower word and addresses are incremented or
decremented by two during code execution. This
arrangement also provides compatibility with data
memory space addressing and makes it possible to
access data in the program memory space.
4.1.2 HARD MEMORY VECTORS
All PIC24F devices reserve the addresses between
0x00000 and 0x000200 for hard coded program execu-
tion vectors. A hardware Reset vector is provided to
redirect code execution from the default value of the
PC on device Reset to the actual start of code. A GOTO
instruction is programmed by the user at 0x000000 with
the actual address for the start of code at 0x000002.
PIC24F devices also have two interrupt vector tables,
located from 0x000004 to 0x0000FF and 0x000100 to
0x0001FF. These vector tables allow each of the many
device interrupt sources to be handled by separate
ISRs. A more detailed discussion of the interrupt vector
tables is provided in Section 7.1 Interrupt Vector
Table.
4.1.3 FLASH CONFIGURATION WORDS
In PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices, the top four
words of on-chip program memory are reserved for
configuration information. On device Reset, the config-
uration information is copied into the appropriate
Configuration register. The addresses of the Flash
Configuration Word for devices in the
PIC24FJ256DA210 family are shown in Table 4-1.
Their location in the memory map is shown with the
other memory vectors in Figure 4-1.
The Configuration Words in program memory are a
compact format. The actual Configuration bits are
mapped in several different registers in the configuration
memory space. Their order in the Flash Configuration
Words does not reflect a corresponding arrangement in
the configuration space. Additional details on the device
Configuration Words are provided in Section 27.1
Configuration Bits.

4.2 Data Memory Space
The PIC24F core has a 16-bit wide data memory space,
addressable as a single linear range.
The data space is accessed using two Address Genera-
tion Units (AGUs), one each for read and write opera-
tions. The data space memory map is shown in
Figure 4-3.
The 16-bit wide data addresses in the data memory
space point to bytes within the Data Space (DS). This
gives a DS address range of 64 Kbytes or 32K words.
The lower 32 Kbytes (0x0000 to 0x7FFF) of DS is com-
patible with the PIC24F microcontrollers without EDS.
The upper 32 Kbytes of data memory address space
(0x8000 - 0xFFFF) are used as an EDS window.
The EDS window is used to access all memory region
implemented in EDS, as shown in Figure 4-4.
The EDS includes any additional internal data memory
not accessible by the lower 32-Kbyte data address
space and any external memory through EPMP. For
more details on accessing internal extended data
memory, refer to the PIC24F Family Reference
Manual, Section 45. Data Memory with Extended
Data Space (EDS) (DS39733). For more details on
accessing external memory using EPMP, refer to the
PIC24F Family Reference Manual, Section 42.
Enhanced Parallel Master Port (EPMP)
(DS39730). In PIC24F microcontrollers with EDS, the
program memory can also be read from EDS. This is
called Program Space Visibility (PSV). Table 4-2 lists the
total memory accessible by each of the devices in this
family.
The EDS is organized as pages, with a single page called
an EDS page that equals the EDS window (32 Kbytes).
A particular EDS page is selected through the Data
Space Read register (DSRPAG) or Data Space Write
register (DSWPAG). For PSV, only the DSRPAG register
is used. The combination of the DSRPAG register value
and the 16-bit wide data address forms a 24-bit Effective
Address (EA). For more information on EDS, refer to
Section 4.3.3 Reading Data from Program Memory
Using EDS.
Note: This data sheet summarizes the features
of this group of PIC24F devices. It is not
intended to be a comprehensive reference
source. For more information, refer to the
PIC24F Family Reference Manual,
Section 45. Data Memory with
Extended Data Space (DS39733). The
information in this data sheet supersedes
the information in the FRM.

4.2.1 DATA SPACE WIDTH
The data memory space is organized in
byte-addressable, 16-bit wide blocks. Data is aligned
in data memory and registers as 16-bit words, but all
data space EAs resolve to bytes. The Least Significant
Bytes (LSBs) of each word have even addresses, while
the Most Significant Bytes (MSBs) have odd
addresses.

4.2.2 DATA MEMORY ORGANIZATION
AND ALIGNMENT
To maintain backward compatibility with PIC

MCUs and
improve data space memory usage efficiency, the
PIC24F instruction set supports both word and byte
operations. As a consequence of byte accessibility, all
EA calculations are internally scaled to step through
word-aligned memory. For example, the core recognizes
that Post-Modified Register Indirect Addressing mode
[Ws++] will result in a value of Ws + 1 for byte operations
and Ws + 2 for word operations.
Data byte reads will read the complete word, which
contains the byte, using the LSB of any EA to deter-
mine which byte to select. The selected byte is placed
onto the LSB of the data path. That is, data memory
and registers are organized as two parallel, byte-wide
entities with shared (word) address decode but
separate write lines. Data byte writes only write to the
corresponding side of the array or register which
matches the byte address.
All word accesses must be aligned to an even address.
Misaligned word data fetches are not supported, so
care must be taken when mixing byte and word
operations or translating from 8-bit MCU code. If a
misaligned read or write is attempted, an address error
trap will be generated. If the error occurred on a read,
the instruction underway is completed; if it occurred on
a write, the instruction will be executed but the write will
not occur. In either case, a trap is then executed, allow-
ing the system and/or user to examine the machine
state prior to execution of the address Fault.
All byte loads into any W register are loaded into the
LSB. The Most Significant Byte (MSB) is not modified.
A sign-extend instruction (SE) is provided to allow
users to translate 8-bit signed data to 16-bit signed
values. Alternatively, for 16-bit unsigned data, users
can clear the MSB of any W register by executing a
zero-extend (ZE) instruction on the appropriate
address.
Although most instructions are capable of operating on
word or byte data sizes, it should be noted that some
instructions operate only on words.
4.2.3 NEAR DATA SPACE
The 8-Kbyte area between 0000h and 1FFFh is
referred to as the near data space. Locations in this
space are directly addressable via a 13-bit absolute
address field within all memory direct instructions. The
remainder of the data space is addressable indirectly.
Additionally, the whole data space is addressable using
MOV instructions, which support Memory Direct
Addressing with a 16-bit address field.
4.2.4 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTER
(SFR) SPACE
The first 2 Kbytes of the near data space, from 0000h
to 07FFh, are primarily occupied with Special Function
Registers (SFRs). These are used by the PIC24F core
and peripheral modules for controlling the operation of
the device.
SFRs are distributed among the modules that they con-
trol and are generally grouped together by module.
Much of the SFR space contains unused addresses;
these are read as 0. A diagram of the SFR space,
showing where the SFRs are actually implemented, is
shown in Table 4-3. Each implemented area indicates
a 32-byte region where at least one address is imple-
mented as an SFR. A complete list of implemented
SFRs, including their addresses, is shown in Tables 4-4
throughTable 4-34.

4.2.5 EXTENDED DATA SPACE (EDS)
The enhancement of the data space in
PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices has been
accomplished by a new technique, called the Extended
Data Space (EDS).
The EDS includes any additional internal extended
data memory not accessible by the lower 32 Kbytes
data address space, any external memory through
EPMP and the Program Space Visibility (PSV).
The extended data space is always accessed through
the EDS window, the upper half of data space. The
entire extended data space is organized into EDS
pages, each having 32 Kbytes of data. Mapping of the
EDS page into the EDS window is done using the Data
Space Read register (DSRPAG<9:0>) for read opera-
tions and Data Space Write register (DSWPAG<8:0>)
for write operations. Figure 4-4 displays the entire EDS
space.
FIGURE 4-4: EXTENDED DATA SPACE
Note: Accessing Page 0 in the EDS window will
generate an address error trap as Page 0
is the base data memory (data locations,
0x0800 to 0x7FFF, in the lower data
space).

4.2.5.1 Data Read from EDS Space
In order to read the data from the EDS space, first, an
Address Pointer is set up by loading the required EDS
page number into the DSRPAG register and assigning
the offset address to one of the W registers. Once the
above assignment is done, the EDS window is enabled
by setting bit 15 of the working register, assigned with
the offset address; then, the contents of the pointed
EDS location can be read.
Figure 4-5 illustrates how the EDS space address is
generated for read operations.
FIGURE 4-5: EDS ADDRESS GENERATION FOR READ OPERATIONS
When the Most Significant bit (MSBs) of EA is 1 and
DSRPAG<9> = 0, the lower 9 bits of DSRPAG are con-
catenated to the lower 15 bits of EA to form a 24-bit
EDS space address for read operations.
Example 4-1 shows how to read a byte, word and
double-word from EDS.

Note: All read operations from EDS space have
an overhead of one instruction cycle.
Therefore, a minimum of two instruction
cycles is required to complete an EDS
read. EDS reads under the REPEAT
instruction; the first two accesses take
three cycles and the subsequent
accesses take one cycle.

4.2.5.2 Data Write into EDS Space
In order to write data to EDS space, such as in EDS
reads, an Address Pointer is set up by loading the
required EDS page number into the DSWPAG register,
and assigning the offset address to one of the W regis-
ters. Once the above assignment is done, then the
EDS window is enabled by setting bit 15 of the working
register, assigned with the offset address, and the
accessed location can be written.
Figure 4-2 illustrates how the EDS space address is
generated for write operations.

DSWPAG are concatenated to the lower 15 bits of EA

The page registers (DSRPAG/DSWPAG) do not
update automatically while crossing a page boundary,
when the rollover happens from 0xFFFF to 0x8000.
While developing code in assembly, care must be taken
to update the page registers when an Address Pointer
crosses the page boundary. The C compiler keeps
track of the addressing, and increments or decrements
the page registers accordingly while accessing
contiguous data memory locations.

4.2.6 SOFTWARE STACK
Apart from its use as a working register, the W15
register in PIC24F devices is also used as a Software
Stack Pointer (SSP). The pointer always points to the
first available free word and grows from lower to higher
addresses. It pre-decrements for stack pops and
post-increments for stack pushes, as shown in
Figure 4-7. Note that for a PC push during any CALL
instruction, the MSB of the PC is zero-extended before
the push, ensuring that the MSB is always clear.
The Stack Pointer Limit Value register (SPLIM), associ-
ated with the Stack Pointer, sets an upper address
boundary for the stack. SPLIM is uninitialized at Reset.
As is the case for the Stack Pointer, SPLIM<0> is
forced to 0 as all stack operations must be
word-aligned. Whenever an EA is generated using
W15 as a source or destination pointer, the resulting
address is compared with the value in SPLIM. If the
contents of the Stack Pointer (W15) and the SPLIM reg-
ister are equal, and a push operation is performed, a
stack error trap will not occur. The stack error trap will
occur on a subsequent push operation. Thus, for
example, if it is desirable to cause a stack error trap
when the stack grows beyond address 2000h in RAM,
initialize the SPLIM with the value, 1FFEh.
Similarly, a Stack Pointer underflow (stack error) trap is
generated when the Stack Pointer address is found to
be less than 0800h. This prevents the stack from
interfering with the SFR space.
A write to the SPLIM register should not be immediately
followed by an indirect read operation using W15.
FIGURE 4-7: CALL STACK FRAME
4.3 Interfacing Program and Data
Memory Spaces
The PIC24F architecture uses a 24-bit wide program
space and 16-bit wide data space. The architecture is
also a modified Harvard scheme, meaning that data
can also be present in the program space. To use this
data successfully, it must be accessed in a way that
preserves the alignment of information in both spaces.
Aside from normal execution, the PIC24F architecture
provides two methods by which program space can be
accessed during operation:
Using table instructions to access individual bytes
or words anywhere in the program space
Remapping a portion of the program space into
the data space (program space visibility)
Table instructions allow an application to read or write
to small areas of the program memory. This makes the
method ideal for accessing data tables that need to be
updated from time to time. It also allows access to all
bytes of the program word. The remapping method
allows an application to access a large block of data on
a read-only basis, which is ideal for look ups from a
large table of static data. It can only access the least
significant word of the program word.
4.3.1 ADDRESSING PROGRAM SPACE
Since the address ranges for the data and program
spaces are 16 and 24 bits, respectively, a method is
needed to create a 23-bit or 24-bit program address
from 16-bit data registers. The solution depends on the
interface method to be used.
For table operations, the 8-bit Table Memory Page
Address register (TBLPAG) is used to define a 32K word
region within the program space. This is concatenated
with a 16-bit EA to arrive at a full 24-bit program space
address. In this format, the MSBs of TBLPAG is used to
determine if the operation occurs in the user memory
(TBLPAG<7> = 0) or the configuration memory
(TBLPAG<7> = 1).
For remapping operations, the 10-bit Extended Data
Space Read register (DSRPAG) is used to define a
16K word page in the program space. When the Most
Significant bit (MSb) of the EA is 1, and the MSb (bit 9)
of DSRPAG is 1, the lower 8 bits of DSRPAG are con-
catenated with the lower 15 bits of the EA to form a
23-bit program space address. The DSRPAG<8> bit
decides whether the lower word (when bit is 0) or the
higher word (when bit is 1) of program memory is
mapped. Unlike table operations, this strictly limits
remapping operations to the user memory area.
Table 4-36 and Figure 4-8 show how the program EA is
created for table operations and remapping accesses
from the data EA. Here, P<23:0> refers to a program
space word, whereas D<15:0> refers to a data space
word.
Note: A PC push during exception processing
will concatenate the SRL register to the
MSB of the PC prior to the push.

4.3.2 DATA ACCESS FROM PROGRAM
MEMORY USING TABLE
INSTRUCTIONS
The TBLRDL and TBLWTL instructions offer a direct
method of reading or writing the lower word of any
address within the program space without going through
data space. The TBLRDH and TBLWTH instructions are
the only method to read or write the upper 8 bits of a
program space word as data.
The PC is incremented by two for each successive
24-bit program word. This allows program memory
addresses to directly map to data space addresses.
Program memory can thus be regarded as two, 16-bit
word-wide address spaces, residing side by side, each
with the same address range. TBLRDL and TBLWTL
access the space which contains the least significant
data word, and TBLRDH and TBLWTH access the space
which contains the upper data byte.
Two table instructions are provided to move byte or
word-sized (16-bit) data to and from program space.
Both function as either byte or word operations.
1. TBLRDL (Table Read Low): In Word mode, it
maps the lower word of the program space
location (P<15:0>) to a data address (D<15:0>).
In Byte mode, either the upper or lower byte of
the lower program word is mapped to the lower
byte of a data address. The upper byte is
selected when byte select is 1; the lower byte
is selected when it is 0.
2. TBLRDH (Table Read High): In Word mode, it
maps the entire upper word of a program address
(P<23:16>) to a data address. Note that
D<15:8>, the phantom byte, will always be 0.
In Byte mode, it maps the upper or lower byte of
the program word to D<7:0> of the data
address, as above. Note that the data will
always be 0 when the upper phantom byte is
selected (byte select = 1).
In a similar fashion, two table instructions, TBLWTH
and TBLWTL, are used to write individual bytes or
words to a program space address. The details of
their operation are described in Section 5.0 Flash
Program Memory.
For all table operations, the area of program memory
space to be accessed is determined by the Table
Memory Page Address register (TBLPAG). TBLPAG
covers the entire program memory space of the
device, including user and configuration spaces. When
TBLPAG<7> = 0, the table page is located in the user
memory space. When TBLPAG<7> = 1, the page is
located in configuration space.
FIGURE 4-9: ACCESSING PROGRAM MEMORY WITH TABLE INSTRUCTIONS

4.3.3 READING DATA FROM PROGRAM
MEMORY USING EDS
The upper 32 Kbytes of data space may optionally be
mapped into any 16K word page of the program space.
This provides transparent access of stored constant
data from the data space without the need to use
special instructions (i.e., TBLRDL/H).
Program space access through the data space occurs
when the MSb of EA is 1 and the DSRPAG<9> is also
1. The lower 8 bits of DSRPAG are concatenated to the
Wn<14:0> bits to form a 23-bit EA to access program
memory. The DSRPAG<8> decides which word should
be addressed; when the bit is 0, the lower word and
when 1, the upper word of the program memory is
accessed.
The entire program memory is divided into 512 EDS
pages, from 0x200 to 0x3FF, each consisting of 16K
words of data. Pages, 0x200 to 0x2FF, correspond to
the lower words of the program memory, while 0x300 to
0x3FF correspond to the upper words of the program
memory.
Using this EDS technique, the entire program memory
can be accessed. Previously, the access to the upper
word of the program memory was not supported.
Table 4-37 provides the corresponding 23-bit EDS
address for program memory with EDS page and
source addresses.
For operations that use PSV and are executed outside
a REPEAT loop, the MOV and MOV.D instructions will
require one instruction cycle in addition to the specified
execution time. All other instructions will require two
instruction cycles in addition to the specified execution
time.
For operations that use PSV, which are executed inside
a REPEAT loop, there will be some instances that
require two instruction cycles in addition to the
specified execution time of the instruction:
Execution in the first iteration
Execution in the last iteration
Execution prior to exiting the loop due to an
interrupt
Execution upon re-entering the loop after an
interrupt is serviced
Any other iteration of the REPEAT loop will allow the
instruction accessing data, using PSV, to execute in a
single cycle.

PIC24FJ256DA210 FAMILY
5.0 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
The PIC24FJ256DA210 family of devices contains
internal Flash program memory for storing and execut-
ing application code. The program memory is readable,
writable and erasable. The Flash can be programmed
in four ways:
In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP)
Run-Time Self-Programming (RTSP)
JTAG
Enhanced In-Circuit Serial Programming
(Enhanced ICSP)
ICSP allows a PIC24FJ256DA210 family device to be
serially programmed while in the end application circuit.
This is simply done with two lines for the programming
clock and programming data (named PGECx and
PGEDx, respectively), and three other lines for power
(VDD), ground (VSS) and Master Clear (MCLR). This
allows customers to manufacture 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.
RTSP is accomplished using TBLRD (table read) and
TBLWT (table write) instructions. With RTSP, the user
may write program memory data in blocks of 64 instruc-
tions (192 bytes) at a time and erase program memory
in blocks of 512 instructions (1536 bytes) at a time.
5.1 Table Instructions and Flash
Programming
Regardless of the method used, all programming of
Flash memory is done with the table read and write
instructions. These allow direct read and write access to
the program memory space from the data memory while
the device is in normal operating mode. The 24-bit target
address in the program memory is formed using the
TBLPAG<7:0> bits and the Effective Address (EA) from
a W register, specified in the table instruction, as shown
in Figure 5-1.
The TBLRDL and the TBLWTL instructions are used to
read or write to bits<15:0> of program memory.
TBLRDL and TBLWTL can access program memory in
both Word and Byte modes.
The TBLRDH and TBLWTH instructions are used to read
or write to bits<23:16> of program memory. TBLRDH
and TBLWTH can also access program memory in Word
or Byte mode.

5.2 RTSP Operation
The PIC24F Flash program memory array is organized
into rows of 64 instructions or 192 bytes. RTSP allows
the user to erase blocks of eight rows (512 instructions)
at a time and to program one row at a time. It is also
possible to program single words.
The 8-row erase blocks and single row write blocks are
edge-aligned, from the beginning of program memory, on
boundaries of 1536 bytes and 192 bytes, respectively.
When data is written to program memory using TBLWT
instructions, the data is not written directly to memory.
Instead, data written using table writes is stored in
holding latches until the programming sequence is
executed.
Any number of TBLWT instructions can be executed
and a write will be successfully performed. However,
64 TBLWT instructions are required to write the full row
of memory.
To ensure that no data is corrupted during a write, any
unused address should be programmed with
FFFFFFh. This is because the holding latches reset to
an unknown state, so if the addresses are left in the
Reset state, they may overwrite the locations on rows
which were not rewritten.
The basic sequence for RTSP programming is to set up
a Table Pointer, then do a series of TBLWT instructions
to load the buffers. Programming is performed by
setting the control bits in the NVMCON register.
Data can be loaded in any order and the holding regis-
ters can be written to multiple times before performing
a write operation. Subsequent writes, however, will
wipe out any previous writes.
All of the table write operations are single-word writes
(2 instruction cycles), because only the buffers are writ-
ten. A programming cycle is required for programming
each row.
5.3 JTAG Operation
The PIC24F family supports JTAG boundary scan.
Boundary scan can improve the manufacturing
process by verifying pin to PCB connectivity.
5.4 Enhanced In-Circuit Serial
Programming
Enhanced In-Circuit Serial Programming uses an
on-board bootloader, known as the program executive,
to manage the programming process. Using an SPI
data frame format, the program executive can erase,
program and verify program memory. For more
information on Enhanced ICSP, see the device
programming specification.
5.5 Control Registers
There are two SFRs used to read and write the
program Flash memory: NVMCON and NVMKEY.
The NVMCON register (Register 5-1) controls which
blocks are to be erased, which memory type is to be
programmed and when the programming cycle starts.
NVMKEY is a write-only register that is used for write
protection. To start a programming or erase sequence,
the user must consecutively write 55h and AAh to the
NVMKEY register. Refer to Section 5.6 Programming
Operations for further details.
5.6 Programming Operations
A complete programming sequence is necessary for
programming or erasing the internal Flash in RTSP
mode. During a programming or erase operation, the
processor stalls (waits) until the operation is finished.
Setting the WR bit (NVMCON<15>) starts the opera-
tion and the WR bit is automatically cleared when the
operation is finished.
Note: Writing to a location multiple times without
erasing is not recommended.

5.6.1 PROGRAMMING ALGORITHM FOR
FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
The user can program one row of Flash program memory
at a time. To do this, it is necessary to erase the 8-row
erase block containing the desired row. The general
process is:
1. Read eight rows of program memory
(512 instructions) and store in data RAM.
2. Update the program data in RAM with the
desired new data.
3. Erase the block (see Example 5-1):
a) Set the NVMOP bits (NVMCON<3:0>) to
0010 to configure for block erase. Set the
ERASE (NVMCON<6>) and WREN
(NVMCON<14>) bits.
b) Write the starting address of the block to be
erased into the TBLPAG and W registers.
c) Write 55h to NVMKEY.
d) Write AAh to NVMKEY.
e) Set the WR bit (NVMCON<15>). The erase
cycle begins and the CPU stalls for the dura-
tion of the erase cycle. When the erase is
done, the WR bit is cleared automatically.
4. Write the first 64 instructions from data RAM into
the program memory buffers (see Example 5-3).
5. Write the program block to Flash memory:
a) Set the NVMOP bits to 0001 to configure
for row programming. Clear the ERASE bit
and set the WREN bit.
b) Write 55h to NVMKEY.
c) Write AAh to NVMKEY.
d) Set the WR bit. The programming cycle
begins and the CPU stalls for the duration
of the write cycle. When the write to Flash
memory is done, the WR bit is cleared
automatically.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5, using the next available
64 instructions from the block in data RAM by
incrementing the value in TBLPAG, until all
512 instructions are written back to Flash
memory.
For protection against accidental operations, the write
initiate sequence for NVMKEY must be used to allow
any erase or program operation to proceed. After the
programming command has been executed, the user
must wait for the programming time until programming
is complete. The two instructions following the start of
the programming sequence should be NOPs, as shown
in Example 5-4.

5.6.2 PROGRAMMING A SINGLE WORD
OF FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
If a Flash location has been erased, it can be pro-
grammed using table write instructions to write an
instruction word (24-bit) into the write latch. The
TBLPAG register is loaded with the 8 Most Significant
Bytes (MSB) of the Flash address. The TBLWTL and
TBLWTH instructions write the desired data into the
write latches and specify the lower 16 bits of the pro-
gram memory address to write to. To configure the
NVMCON register for a word write, set the NVMOP bits
(NVMCON<3:0>) to 0011. The write is performed by
executing the unlock sequence and setting the WR bit
(see Example 5-5). An equivalent procedure in C
compiler, using the MPLAB C30 compiler and built-in
hardware functions is shown in Example 5-6.

6.0 RESETS
The Reset module combines all Reset sources and
controls the device Master Reset Signal, SYSRST. The
following is a list of device Reset sources:
POR: Power-on Reset
MCLR: Pin Reset
SWR: RESET Instruction
WDT: Watchdog Timer Reset
BOR: Brown-out Reset
CM: Configuration Mismatch Reset
TRAPR: Trap Conflict Reset
IOPUWR: Illegal Opcode Reset
UWR: Uninitialized W Register Reset
A simplified block diagram of the Reset module is
shown in Figure 6-1.
Any active source of Reset will make the SYSRST
signal active. Many registers associated with the CPU
and peripherals are forced to a known Reset state.
Most registers are unaffected by a Reset; their status is
unknown on POR and unchanged by all other Resets.
All types of device Reset will set a corresponding status
bit in the RCON register to indicate the type of Reset
(see Register 6-1). A POR will clear all bits, except for
the BOR and POR (RCON<1:0>) bits, which are set.
The user may set or clear any bit at any time during
code execution. The RCON bits only serve as status
bits. Setting a particular Reset status bit in software will
not cause a device Reset to occur.
The RCON register also has other bits associated with
the Watchdog Timer and device power-saving states.
The function of these bits is discussed in other sections
of this data sheet.

6.1 Special Function Register Reset
States
Most of the Special Function Registers (SFRs) associ-
ated with the PIC24F CPU and peripherals are reset to a
particular value at a device Reset. The SFRs are
grouped by their peripheral or CPU function and their
Reset values are specified in each section of this manual.
The Reset value for each SFR does not depend on the
type of Reset, with the exception of four registers. The
Reset value for the Reset Control register, RCON, will
depend on the type of device Reset. The Reset value
for the Oscillator Control register, OSCCON, will
depend on the type of Reset and the programmed
values of the FNOSC bits in Flash Configuration
Word 2 (CW2) (see Table 6-2). The RCFGCAL and
NVMCON registers are only affected by a POR.
6.2 Device Reset Times
The Reset times for various types of device Reset are
summarized in Table 6-3. Note that the system Reset
signal, SYSRST, is released after the POR delay time
expires.
The time at which the device actually begins to execute
code will also depend on the system oscillator delays,
which include the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) and
the PLL lock time. The OST and PLL lock times occur
in parallel with the applicable SYSRST delay times.
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) delay determines
the time at which the FSCM begins to monitor the
system clock source after the SYSRST signal is
released.
6.3 Clock Source Selection at Reset
If clock switching is enabled, the system clock source
at device Reset is chosen, as shown in Table 6-2. If
clock switching is disabled, the system clock source is
always selected according to the oscillator Configura-
tion bits. Refer to the PIC24F Family Reference
Manual, Section 8.0 Oscillator Configuration for
further details.

TABLE 6-3: RESET DELAY TIMES FOR VARIOUS DEVICE RESETS
6.3.1 POR AND LONG OSCILLATOR
START-UP TIMES
The oscillator start-up circuitry and its associated delay
timers are not linked to the device Reset delays that
occur at power-up. Some crystal circuits (especially
low-frequency crystals) will have a relatively long
start-up time. Therefore, one or more of the following
conditions is possible after SYSRST is released:
The oscillator circuit has not begun to oscillate.
The Oscillator Start-up Timer has not expired (if a
crystal oscillator is used).
The PLL has not achieved a lock (if PLL is used).
The device will not begin to execute code until a valid
clock source has been released to the system. There-
fore, the oscillator and PLL start-up delays must be
considered when the Reset delay time must be known.
6.3.2 FAIL-SAFE CLOCK MONITOR
(FSCM) AND DEVICE RESETS
If the FSCM is enabled, it will begin to monitor the
system clock source when SYSRST is released. If a
valid clock source is not available at this time, the
device will automatically switch to the FRC oscillator
and the user can switch to the desired crystal oscillator
in the Trap Service Routine (TSR).

7.0 INTERRUPT CONTROLLER
The PIC24F interrupt controller reduces the numerous
peripheral interrupt request signals to a single interrupt
request signal to the PIC24F CPU. It has the following
features:
Up to 8 processor exceptions and software traps
Seven user-selectable priority levels
Interrupt Vector Table (IVT) with up to 118 vectors
Unique vector for each interrupt or exception
source
Fixed priority within a specified user priority level
Alternate Interrupt Vector Table (AIVT) for debug
support
Fixed interrupt entry and return latencies
7.1 Interrupt Vector Table
The Interrupt Vector Table (IVT) is shown in Figure 7-1.
The IVT resides in program memory, starting at location
000004h. The IVT contains 126 vectors, consisting of
8 non-maskable trap vectors, plus up to 118 sources of
interrupt. In general, each interrupt source has its own
vector. Each interrupt vector contains a 24-bit wide
address. The value programmed into each interrupt
vector location is the starting address of the associated
Interrupt Service Routine (ISR).
Interrupt vectors are prioritized in terms of their natural
priority; this is linked to their position in the vector table.
All other things being equal, lower addresses have a
higher natural priority. For example, the interrupt asso-
ciated with Vector 0 will take priority over interrupts at
any other vector address.
PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices implement
non-maskable traps and unique interrupts. These are
summarized in Table 7-1 and Table 7-2.
7.1.1 ALTERNATE INTERRUPT VECTOR
TABLE
The Alternate Interrupt Vector Table (AIVT) is located
after the IVT, as shown in Figure 7-1. The ALTIVT
(INTCON2<15>) control bit provides access to the
AIVT. If the ALTIVT bit is set, all interrupt and exception
processes will use the alternate vectors instead of the
default vectors. The alternate vectors are organized in
the same manner as the default vectors.
The AIVT supports emulation and debugging efforts by
providing a means to switch between an application
and a support environment without requiring the inter-
rupt vectors to be reprogrammed. This feature also
enables switching between applications for evaluation
of different software algorithms at run time. If the AIVT
is not needed, the AIVT should be programmed with
the same addresses used in the IVT.
7.2 Reset Sequence
A device Reset is not a true exception because the
interrupt controller is not involved in the Reset process.
The PIC24F devices clear their registers in response to
a Reset, which forces the PC to zero. The micro-
controller then begins program execution at location,
000000h. The user programs a GOTO instruction at the
Reset address, which redirects program execution to
the appropriate start-up routine.
Note: This data sheet summarizes the features
of this group of PIC24F devices. It is not
intended to be a comprehensive reference
source. For more information, refer to the
PIC24F Family Reference Manual, Sec-
tion 8. Interrupts (DS39707). The infor-
mation in this data sheet supersedes the
information in the FRM.
Note: Any unimplemented or unused vector
locations in the IVT and AIVT should be
programmed with the address of a default
interrupt handler routine that contains a
RESET instruction.

7.3 Interrupt Control and Status
Registers
The PIC24FJ256DA210 family of devices implements
a total of 40 registers for the interrupt controller:
INTCON1
INTCON2
IFS0 through IFS6
IEC0 through IEC6
IPC0 through IPC25 (except IPC14, IPC17 and
IPC24)
INTTREG
Global interrupt control functions are controlled from
INTCON1 and INTCON2. INTCON1 contains the Inter-
rupt Nesting Disable (NSTDIS) bit, as well as the
control and status flags for the processor trap sources.
The INTCON2 register controls the external interrupt
request signal behavior and the use of the Alternate
Interrupt Vector Table (AIVT).
The IFSx registers maintain all of the interrupt request
flags. Each source of interrupt has a status bit, which is
set by the respective peripherals or an external signal
and is cleared via software.
The IECx registers maintain all of the interrupt enable
bits. These control bits are used to individually enable
interrupts from the peripherals or external signals.
The IPCx registers are used to set the interrupt priority
level for each source of interrupt. Each user interrupt
source can be assigned to one of eight priority levels.
The INTTREG register contains the associated
interrupt vector number and the new CPU interrupt
priority level, which are latched into the Vector
Number (VECNUM<6:0>) and the Interrupt Level
(ILR<3:0>) bit fields in the INTTREG register. The
new interrupt priority level is the priority of the
pending interrupt.
The interrupt sources are assigned to the IFSx, IECx
and IPCx registers in the order of their vector numbers,
as shown in Table 7-2. For example, the INT0 (External
Interrupt 0) is shown as having a vector number and a
natural order priority of 0. Thus, the INT0IF status bit is
found in IFS0<0>, the INT0IE enable bit in IEC0<0>
and the INT0IP<2:0> priority bits in the first position of
IPC0 (IPC0<2:0>).
Although they are not specifically part of the interrupt
control hardware, two of the CPU Control registers con-
tain bits that control interrupt functionality. The ALU
STATUS register (SR) contains the IPL<2:0> bits
(SR<7:5>). These indicate the current CPU interrupt
priority level. The user can change the current CPU
priority level by writing to the IPL bits.

The CORCON register contains the IPL3 bit, which,
together with IPL<2:0>, indicates the current CPU
priority level. IPL3 is a read-only bit so that trap events
cannot be masked by the user software.
The interrupt controller has the Interrupt Controller Test
register, INTTREG, which displays the status of the
interrupt controller. When an interrupt request occurs,
its associated vector number and the new interrupt pri-
ority level are latched into INTTREG. This information
can be used to determine a specific interrupt source if
a generic ISR is used for multiple vectors (such as
when ISR remapping is used in bootloader applica-
tions) or to check if another interrupt is pending while in
an ISR.
All interrupt registers are described in Register 7-1
through Register 7-40 in the succeeding pages.

7.4 Interrupt Setup Procedures
7.4.1 INITIALIZATION
To configure an interrupt source:
1. Set the NSTDIS (INTCON1<15>) control bit if
nested interrupts are not desired.
2. Select the user-assigned priority level for the
interrupt source by writing the control bits in the
appropriate IPCx register. The priority level will
depend on the specific application and type of
interrupt source. If multiple priority levels are not
desired, the IPCx register control bits for all
enabled interrupt sources may be programmed
to the same non-zero value.
3. Clear the interrupt flag status bit associated with
the peripheral in the associated IFSx register.
4. Enable the interrupt source by setting the
interrupt enable control bit associated with the
source in the appropriate IECx register.
7.4.2 INTERRUPT SERVICE ROUTINE
(ISR)
The method that is used to declare an Interrupt Service
Routine (ISR) and initialize the IVT with the correct vec-
tor address will depend on the programming language
(i.e., C or assembler) and the language development
toolsuite that is used to develop the application. In
general, the user must clear the interrupt flag in the
appropriate IFSx register for the source of the interrupt
that the ISR handles. Otherwise, the ISR will be
re-entered immediately after exiting the routine. If the
ISR is coded in assembly language, it must be termi-
nated using a RETFIE instruction to unstack the saved
PC value, SRL value and old CPU priority level.
7.4.3 TRAP SERVICE ROUTINE (TSR)
A Trap Service Routine (TSR) is coded like an ISR,
except that the appropriate trap status flag in the
INTCON1 register must be cleared to avoid re-entry
into the TSR.
7.4.4 INTERRUPT DISABLE
All user interrupts can be disabled using the following
procedure:
1. Push the current SR value onto the software
stack using the PUSH instruction.
2. Force the CPU to priority level 7 by inclusive
ORing the value 0Eh with SRL.
To enable user interrupts, the POP instruction may be
used to restore the previous SR value.
Note that only user interrupts with a priority level of 7 or
less can be disabled. Trap sources (Level 8-15) cannot
be disabled.
The DISI instruction provides a convenient way to
disable interrupts of priority levels, 1-6, for a fixed
period of time. Level 7 interrupt sources are not
disabled by the DISI instruction.
Note: At a device Reset, the IPCx registers are
initialized, such that all user interrupt
sources are assigned to priority level 4.

8.1 CPU Clocking Scheme
The system clock source can be provided by one of
four sources:
Primary Oscillator (POSC) on the OSCI and
OSCO pins
Secondary Oscillator (SOSC) on the SOSCI and
SOSCO pins
Fast Internal RC (FRC) Oscillator
Low-Power Internal RC (LPRC) Oscillator
The primary oscillator and FRC sources have the
option of using the internal 24x PLL block, which
generates the USB module clock, the Graphics module
clock and a separate system clock through the 96 MHZ
PLL. Refer to Section 8.5 96 MHz PLL Block for
additional information.
The internal FRC provides an 8 MHz clock source. It
can optionally be reduced by the programmable clock
divider to provide a range of system clock frequencies.
The selected clock source generates the processor
and peripheral clock sources. The processor clock
source is divided by two to produce the internal instruc-
tion cycle clock, FCY. In this document, the instruction
cycle clock is also denoted by FOSC/2. The internal
instruction cycle clock, FOSC/2, can be provided on the
OSCO I/O pin for some operating modes of the primary
oscillator.
8.2 Initial Configuration on POR
The oscillator source (and operating mode) that is used
at a device Power-on Reset (POR) event is selected
using Configuration bit settings. The oscillator Configu-
ration bit settings are located in the Configuration
registers in the program memory (refer to Section 27.1
Configuration Bits for further details). The Primary
Oscillator Configuration bits, POSCMD<1:0> (Configu-
ration Word 2<1:0>) and the Initial Oscillator Select
Configuration bits, FNOSC<2:0> (Configuration
Word 2<10:8>), select the oscillator source that is used
at a POR. The FRC primary oscillator with postscaler
(FRCDIV) is the default (unprogrammed) selection. The
secondary oscillator, or one of the internal oscillators,
may be chosen by programming these bit locations.
The Configuration bits allow users to choose between
the various clock modes, shown in Table 8-1.
8.2.1 CLOCK SWITCHING MODE
CONFIGURATION BITS
The FCKSM Configuration bits (Configuration
Word 2<7:6>) are used to jointly configure device clock
switching and the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM).
Clock switching is enabled only when FCKSM1 is
programmed (0). The FSCM is enabled only when
FCKSM<1:0> are both programmed (00).

8.3 Control Registers
The following five Special Function Registers control
the operation of the oscillator:
OSCCON
CLKDIV
OSCTUN
CLKDIV2
REFOCON
The OSCCON register (Register 8-1) is the main con-
trol register for the oscillator. It controls clock source
switching and allows the monitoring of clock sources.
The CLKDIV register (Register 8-2) controls the
features associated with Doze mode, as well as the
postscaler for the FRC oscillator.
The OSCTUN register (Register 8-3) allows the user to
fine tune the FRC oscillator over a range of
approximately 1.5%.
The CLKDIV2 register (Register 8-4) controls the clock
to the display glass, with the frequency ranging from
750 kHz to 96 MHz.
The REFOCON register (Register 8-5) controls the
frequency of the reference clock out.

8.4 Clock Switching Operation
With few limitations, applications are free to switch
between any of the four clock sources (POSC, SOSC,
FRC and LPRC) under software control and at any
time. To limit the possible side effects that could result
from this flexibility, PIC24F devices have a safeguard
lock built into the switching process.
8.4.1 ENABLING CLOCK SWITCHING
To enable clock switching, the FCKSM1 Configuration
bit in CW2 must be programmed to 0. (Refer to
Section 27.1 Configuration Bits for further details.)
If the FCKSM1 Configuration bit is unprogrammed (1),
the clock switching function and Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
function are disabled. This is the default setting.
The NOSCx (OSCCON<10:8>) control bits do not
control the clock selection when clock switching is
disabled. However, the COSCx (OSCCON<14:12>)
control bits will reflect the clock source selected by the
FNOSCx Configuration bits.
The OSWEN (OSCCON<0>) control bit has no effect
when clock switching is disabled; It is held at 0 at all
times.
8.4.2 OSCILLATOR SWITCHING
SEQUENCE
At a minimum, performing a clock switch requires this
basic sequence:
1. If desired, read the COSCx (OSCCON<14:12>)
control bits to determine the current oscillator
source.
2. Perform the unlock sequence to allow a write to
the OSCCON register high byte.
3. Write the appropriate value to the NOSCx
(OSCCON<10:8>) control bits for the new
oscillator source.
4. Perform the unlock sequence to allow a write to
the OSCCON register low byte.
5. Set the OSWEN bit to initiate the oscillator
switch.
Once the basic sequence is completed, the system
clock hardware responds automatically as follows:
1. The clock switching hardware compares the
COSCx bits with the new value of the NOSCx
bits. If they are the same, then the clock switch
is a redundant operation. In this case, the
OSWEN bit is cleared automatically and the
clock switch is aborted.
2. If a valid clock switch has been initiated, the
LOCK (OSCCON<5>) and CF (OSCCON<3>)
bits are cleared.
3. The new oscillator is turned on by the hardware
if it is not currently running. If a crystal oscillator
must be turned on, the hardware will wait until
the OST expires. If the new source is using the
PLL, then the hardware waits until a PLL lock is
detected (LOCK = 1).
4. The hardware waits for 10 clock cycles from the
new clock source and then performs the clock
switch.
5. The hardware clears the OSWEN bit to indicate a
successful clock transition. In addition, the
NOSCx bit values are transferred to the COSCx
bits.
6. The old clock source is turned off at this time,
with the exception of LPRC (if WDT or FSCM
are enabled) or SOSC (if SOSCEN remains
set).
Note: The Primary Oscillator mode has three
different submodes (XT, HS and EC)
which are determined by the POSCMDx
Configuration bits. While an application
can switch to and from Primary Oscillator
mode in software, it cannot switch
between the different primary submodes
without reprogramming the device.
Note 1: The processor will continue to execute
code throughout the clock switching
sequence. Timing-sensitive code should
not be executed during this time.
2: Direct clock switches between any
Primary Oscillator mode with PLL and
FRCPLL modes are not permitted. This
applies to clock switches in either direc-
tion. In these instances, the application
must switch to FRC mode as a transition
clock source between the two PLL
modes.
2010 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39969B-page 149
PIC24FJ256DA210 FAMILY
A recommended code sequence for a clock switch
includes the following:
1. Disable interrupts during the OSCCON register
unlock and write sequence.
2. Execute the unlock sequence for the OSCCON
high byte by writing 78h and 9Ah to
OSCCON<15:8> in two back-to-back
instructions.
3. Write new oscillator source to the NOSCx bits in
the instruction immediately following the unlock
sequence.
4. Execute the unlock sequence for the OSCCON
low byte by writing 46h and 57h to
OSCCON<7:0> in two back-to-back instructions.
5. Set the OSWEN bit in the instruction immediately
following the unlock sequence.
6. Continue to execute code that is not
clock-sensitive (optional).
7. Invoke an appropriate amount of software delay
(cycle counting) to allow the selected oscillator
and/or PLL to start and stabilize.
8. Check to see if OSWEN is 0. If it is, the switch
was successful. If OSWEN is still set, then
check the LOCK bit to determine the cause of
failure.
The core sequence for unlocking the OSCCON register
and initiating a clock switch is shown in Example 8-1.
EXAMPLE 8-1: BASIC CODE SEQUENCE
FOR CLOCK SWITCHING
IN ASSEMBLY
8.5 96 MHz PLL Block
The 96 MHz PLL block is implemented to generate the
stable 48 MHz clock required for full-speed USB
operation, a programmable clock output for the
graphics controller module and the system clock from
the same oscillator source. The 96 MHz PLL block is
shown in Figure 8-2.
The 96 MHz PLL block requires a 4 MHz input signal; it
uses this to generate a 96 MHz signal from a fixed, 24x
PLL. This is, in turn, divided into three branches. The first
branch generates the USB clock, the second branch
generates the system clock and the third branch gener-
ates the graphics clock. The 96 MHz PLL block can be
enabled and disabled using the PLL96MHZ Configura-
tion bit (Configuration Word<11>) or through the PLLEN
(CLKDIV<5>) control bit when the PLL96MHZ
Configuration bit is not set. Note that the PLL96MHZ
Configuration bit and PLLEN register bit are available
only for PIC24F devices with USB and graphics
controller modules.
The 96 MHz PLL prescaler does not automatically
sense the incoming oscillator frequency. The user must
manually configure the PLL divider to generate the
required 4 MHz output, using the PLLDIV<2:0> Config-
uration bits (Configuration Word 2<14:12> in most
devices).

8.5.1 SYSTEM CLOCK GENERATION
The system clock is generated from the 96 MHz branch
using a configurable postscaler/divider to generate a
range of frequencies for the system clock multiplexer.
The output of the multiplexer is further passed through
a fixed divide-by-3 divider and the final output is used
as the system clock. Figure 8-2 shows this logic in the
system clock sub-block. Since the source is a 96 MHz
signal, the possible system clock frequencies are listed
in Table 8-2. The available system clock options are
always the same, regardless of the setting of the
PLLDIV Configuration bits.

PIC24FJ256DA210 FAMILY
8.5.2 USB CLOCK GENERATION
In the USB-On-The-Go module in PIC24FJ256DA210
family of devices, the primary oscillator with the PLL
block can be used as a valid clock source for USB oper-
ation. The FRC oscillator (implemented with 0.25%
accuracy) can be combined with a PLL block, providing
another option for a valid USB clock source. There is
no provision to provide a separate external 48 MHz
clock to the USB module. The USB module sources its
clock signal from 96 MHz PLL. Due to the requirement
that a 4 MHz input must be provided to generate the
96 MHz signal, the oscillator operation is limited to a
range of possible values. Table 8-3 shows the valid
oscillator configurations (i.e., ECPLL, HSPLL, XTPLL
and FRCPLL) for USB operation. This sets the correct
PLLDIV configuration for the specified oscillator
frequency and the output frequency of the USB clock
branch is always 48 MHz.

8.5.3 CONSIDERATIONS FOR USB
OPERATION
When using the USB On-The-Go module in
PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices, users must always
observe these rules in configuring the system clock:
For USB operation, the selected clock source
(EC, HS or XT) must meet the USB clock
tolerance requirements.
The Primary Oscillator/PLL modes are the only
oscillator configurations that permit USB opera-
tion. There is no provision to provide a separate
external clock source to the USB module.
While the FRCPLL Oscillator mode is used for
USB applications, users must always ensure that
the FRC source is configured to provide a
frequency of 4 MHz or 8 MHz (RCDIV<2:0> = 001
or 000) and that the USB PLL prescaler is
configured appropriately.
All other oscillator modes are available; however, USB
operation is not possible when these modes are
selected. They may still be useful in cases where other
power levels of operation are desirable and the USB
module is not needed (e.g., the application is sleeping
and waiting for a bus attachment).
8.5.4 GRAPHICS CLOCK GENERATION
Two stable clock signals are generated for the graphics
controller in the PIC24FJ256DA210 family of devices.
The first clock is for the graphics controller module logic
and the second clock is for the display module interface
logic that generates the signals for the display glass.
Figure 8-2 shows this logic in the graphics clock
sub-block. Both clock signals are generated either from
the Graphics Clock Option 1 (96 MHz branch) or the
Graphics Clock Option 2 (48 MHz branch). Selection is
set in the multiplexer using the G1CLKSEL
(CLKDIV<4>) control bit. Graphics controller module
logic directly uses the output of that multiplexer while
the display module interface clock is further condi-
tioned through a postscaler to generate 128 possible
frequencies. The final clock output signal is selected
through a multiplexer using the GCLKDIV<6:0>
(CLKDIV2<15:9>) control bits. The 128 selections vary
in increments of 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0. Refer to Table 8-4
for details. Note that for applications that use the
graphics controller (GFX) module, the 96 MHz PLL
must be enabled.
TABLE 8-3: VALID OSCILLATOR CONFIGURATIONS FOR USB OPERATIONS
Input Oscillator Frequency Clock Mode

(PLLDIV<2:0>)
48 MHz ECPLL 12 (111)
32 MHz HSPLL, ECPLL 8 (110)

8 MHz ECPLL, HSPLL, XTPLL, FRCPLL 2 (001)
4 MHz ECPLL, HSPLL, XTPLL, FRCPLL 1 (000)
Note: For USB devices, the use of a primary oscillator or external clock source, with a frequency above 32 MHz,
does not imply that the devices system clock can be run at the same speed when the USB module is not
used. The maximum system clock for all PIC24F devices is 32 MHz.

DS39969B-page 152 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
8.6 Reference Clock Output
In addition to the CLKO output (FOSC/2) available in
certain oscillator modes, the device clock in the
PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices can also be config-
ured to provide a reference clock output signal to a port
pin. This feature is available in all oscillator configura-
tions and allows the user to select a greater range of
clock submultiples to drive external devices in the
application.
This reference clock output is controlled by the
REFOCON register (Register 8-5). Setting the ROEN
bit (REFOCON<15>) makes the clock signal available
on the REFO pin. The RODIV bits (REFOCON<11:8>)
enable the selection of 16 different clock divider
options.
The ROSSLP and ROSEL bits (REFOCON<13:12>)
control the availability of the reference output during
Sleep mode. The ROSEL bit determines if the oscillator
on OSCI and OSCO, or the current system clock
source, is used for the reference clock output. The
ROSSLP bit determines if the reference source is
available on REFO when the device is in Sleep mode.
To use the reference clock output in Sleep mode, both
the ROSSLP and ROSEL bits must be set. The device
clock must also be configured for one of the primary
modes (EC, HS or XT); otherwise, if the POSCEN bit is
not also set, the oscillator on OSCI and OSCO will be
powered down when the device enters Sleep mode.
Clearing the ROSEL bit allows the reference output
frequency to change as the system clock changes
during any clock switches.

PIC24FJ256DA210 FAMILY
9.0 POWER-SAVING FEATURES
The PIC24FJ256DA210 family of devices provides the
ability to manage power consumption by selectively
managing clocking to the CPU and the peripherals. In
general, a lower clock frequency and a reduction in the
number of circuits being clocked constitutes lower
consumed power. All PIC24F devices manage power
consumption in four different ways:
Clock Frequency
Instruction-Based Sleep and Idle modes
Software Controlled Doze mode
Selective Peripheral Control in Software
Combinations of these methods can be used to
selectively tailor an applications power consumption,
while still maintaining critical application features, such
as timing-sensitive communications.
9.1 Clock Frequency and Clock
Switching
PIC24F devices allow for a wide range of clock
frequencies to be selected under application control. If
the system clock configuration is not locked, users can
choose low-power or high-precision oscillators by simply
changing the NOSC bits. The process of changing a
system clock during operation, as well as limitations to
the process, are discussed in more detail in Section 8.0
Oscillator Configuration.
9.2 Instruction-Based Power-Saving
Modes
PIC24F devices have two special power-saving modes
that are entered through the execution of a special
PWRSAV instruction. Sleep mode stops clock operation
and halts all code execution; Idle mode halts the CPU
and code execution, but allows peripheral modules to
continue operation. The assembly syntax of the
PWRSAV instruction is shown in Example 9-1.
Sleep and Idle modes can be exited as a result of an
enabled interrupt, WDT time-out or a device Reset.
When the device exits these modes, it is said to
wake-up.
9.2.1 SLEEP MODE
Sleep mode has these features:
The system clock source is shut down. If an
on-chip oscillator is used, it is turned off.
The device current consumption will be reduced
to a minimum, provided that no I/O pin is sourcing
current.
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) does not
operate during Sleep mode since the system
clock source is disabled.
The LPRC clock will continue to run in Sleep
mode if the WDT is enabled.
The WDT, if enabled, is automatically cleared
prior to entering Sleep mode.
Some device features or peripherals may
continue to operate in Sleep mode. This includes
items such as the input change notification on the
I/O ports or peripherals that use an external clock
input. Any peripheral that requires the system
clock source for its operation will be disabled in
Sleep mode. Users can opt to make the voltage
regulator enter standby mode on entering Sleep
mode by clearing the VREGS bit (RCON<8>).
This will decrease current consumption but will
add a delay, TVREG, to the wake-up time. For this
reason, applications that do not use the voltage
regulator should set this bit.
The device will wake-up from Sleep mode on any of the
these events:
On any interrupt source that is individually
enabled
On any form of device Reset
On a WDT time-out
On wake-up from sleep, the processor will restart with
the same clock source that was active when Sleep
mode was entered.

DS39969B-page 156 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
9.2.2 IDLE MODE
Idle mode has these features:
The CPU will stop executing instructions.
The WDT is automatically cleared.
The system clock source remains active. By
default, all peripheral modules continue to operate
normally from the system clock source, but can
also be selectively disabled (see Section 9.4
Selective Peripheral Module Control).
If the WDT or FSCM is enabled, the LPRC will
also remain active.
The device will wake from Idle mode on any of these
events:
Any interrupt that is individually enabled.
Any device Reset.
A WDT time-out.
On wake-up from Idle, the clock is reapplied to the CPU
and instruction execution begins immediately, starting
with the instruction following the PWRSAV instruction or
the first instruction in the ISR.

Any interrupt that coincides with the execution of a
PWRSAV instruction will be held off until entry into Sleep
or Idle mode has completed. The device will then
wake-up from Sleep or Idle mode.
9.3 Doze Mode
Generally, changing clock speed and invoking one of
the power-saving modes are the preferred strategies
for reducing power consumption. There may be cir-
cumstances, however, where this is not practical. For
example, it may be necessary for an application to
maintain uninterrupted synchronous communication,
even while it is doing nothing else. Reducing system
clock speed may introduce communication errors,
while using a power-saving mode may stop
communications completely.
Doze mode is a simple and effective alternative method
to reduce power consumption while the device is still
executing code. In this mode, the system clock contin-
ues to operate from the same source and at the same
speed. Peripheral modules continue to be clocked at
the same speed while the CPU clock speed is reduced.
Synchronization between the two clock domains is
maintained, allowing the peripherals to access the
SFRs while the CPU executes code at a slower rate.
Doze mode is enabled by setting the DOZEN bit
(CLKDIV<11>). The ratio between peripheral and core
clock speed is determined by the DOZE<2:0> bits
(CLKDIV<14:12>). There are eight possible
configurations, from 1:1 to 1:128, with 1:1 being the
default.
It is also possible to use Doze mode to selectively
reduce power consumption in event driven applica-
tions. This allows clock-sensitive functions, such as
synchronous communications, to continue without
interruption while the CPU idles, waiting for something
to invoke an interrupt routine. Enabling the automatic
return to full-speed CPU operation on interrupts is
enabled by setting the ROI bit (CLKDIV<15>). By
default, interrupt events have no effect on Doze mode
operation.
9.4 Selective Peripheral Module
Control
Idle and Doze modes allow users to substantially
reduce power consumption by slowing or stopping the
CPU clock. Even so, peripheral modules still remain
clocked, and thus, consume power. There may be
cases where the application needs what these modes
do not provide: the allocation of power resources to
CPU processing with minimal power consumption from
the peripherals.
PIC24F devices address this requirement by allowing
peripheral modules to be selectively disabled, reducing
or eliminating their power consumption. This can be
done with two control bits:
The Peripheral Enable bit, generically named,
XXXEN, located in the modules main control
SFR.
The Peripheral Module Disable (PMD) bit,
generically named, XXXMD, located in one of
the PMD control registers.
Both bits have similar functions in enabling or disabling
its associated module. Setting the PMD bit for a module
disables all clock sources to that module, reducing its
power consumption to an absolute minimum. In this
state, the control and status registers associated with
the peripheral will also be disabled, so writes to those
registers will have no effect and read values will be
invalid. Many peripheral modules have a corresponding
PMD bit.
In contrast, disabling a module by clearing its XXXEN
bit disables its functionality, but leaves its registers
available to be read and written to. This reduces power
consumption, but not by as much as setting the PMD
bit does. Most peripheral modules have an enable bit;
exceptions include input capture, output compare and
RTCC.
To achieve more selective power savings, peripheral
modules can also be selectively disabled when the
device enters Idle mode. This is done through the
control bit of the generic name format, XXXIDL. By
default, all modules that can operate during Idle mode
will do so. Using the disable on Idle feature allows
further reduction of power consumption during Idle
mode, enhancing power savings for extremely critical
power applications.

10.0 I/O PORTS
All of the device pins (except VDD, VSS, MCLR and
OSCI/CLKI) are shared between the peripherals and
the parallel I/O ports. All I/O input ports feature Schmitt
Trigger (ST) inputs for improved noise immunity.
10.1 Parallel I/O (PIO) Ports
A parallel I/O port that shares a pin with a peripheral is,
in general, subservient to the peripheral. The periph-
erals output buffer data and control signals are
provided to a pair of multiplexers. The multiplexers
select whether the peripheral or the associated port
has ownership of the output data and control signals of
the I/O pin. The logic also prevents loop through, in
which a ports digital output can drive the input of a
peripheral that shares the same pin. Figure 10-1 shows
how ports are shared with other peripherals and the
associated I/O pin to which they are connected.
When a peripheral is enabled and the peripheral is
actively driving an associated pin, the use of the pin as
a general purpose output pin is disabled. The I/O pin
may be read, but the output driver for the parallel port
bit will be disabled. If a peripheral is enabled, but the
peripheral is not actively driving a pin, that pin may be
driven by a port.
All port pins have three registers directly associated
with their operation as digital I/O and one register asso-
ciated with their operation as analog input. The Data
Direction register (TRISx) determines whether the pin
is an input or an output. If the data direction bit is a 1,
then the pin is an input. All port pins are defined as
inputs after a Reset. Reads from the Output Latch reg-
ister (LATx), read the latch; writes to the latch, write the
latch. Reads from the port (PORTx), read the port pins;
writes to the port pins, write the latch.
Any bit and its associated data and control registers
that are not valid for a particular device will be
disabled. That means the corresponding LATx and
TRISx registers, and the port pin will read as zeros.
When a pin is shared with another peripheral or func-
tion that is defined as an input only, it is regarded as a
dedicated port because there is no other competing
source of inputs.

10.1.1 I/O PORT WRITE/READ TIMING
One instruction cycle is required between a port direction
change or port write operation and a read operation of
the same port. Typically, this instruction would be a NOP.
10.1.2 OPEN-DRAIN CONFIGURATION
In addition to the PORT, LAT and TRIS registers for data
control, each port pin can also be individually configured
for either a digital or open-drain output. This is controlled
by the Open-Drain Control register, ODCx, associated
with each port. Setting any of the bits configures the
corresponding pin to act as an open-drain output.
The open-drain feature allows the generation of
outputs higher than VDD (e.g., 5V) on any desired
digital only pins by using external pull-up resistors. The
maximum open-drain voltage allowed is the same as
the maximum VIH specification.
10.1.3 CONFIGURING D+ AND D- PINS
(RG2 AND RG3)
The input buffers of the RG2 and RG3 pins are by
default, tri-stated. To use these pins as input pins, the
UTRDIS bit (U1CNFG2<0>) should be set which
enables the input buffers on these pins.
10.2 Configuring Analog Port Pins
(ANSEL)
The ANSx and TRISx registers control the operation of
the pins with analog function. Each port pin with analog
function is associated with one of the ANS bits (see
Register 10-1 through Register 10-7), which decides if
the pin function should be analog or digital. Refer to
Table 10-1 for detailed behavior of the pin for different
ANSx and TRISx bit settings.
When reading the PORT register, all pins configured as
analog input channels will read as cleared (a low level).
10.2.1 ANALOG INPUT PINS AND
VOLTAGE CONSIDERATIONS
The voltage tolerance of pins used as device inputs is
dependent on the pins input function. Pins that are used
as digital only inputs are able to handle DC voltages of up
to 5.5V, a level typical for digital logic circuits. In contrast,
pins that also have analog input functions of any kind can
only tolerate voltages up to VDD. Voltage excursions
beyond VDD on these pins should always be avoided.
Table 10-2 summarizes the input capabilities. Refer to
Section 30.1 DC Characteristics for more details.

PIC24FJ256DA210 FAMILY
10.3 Input Change Notification
The input change notification function of the I/O ports
allows the PIC24FJ256DA210 family of devices to gen-
erate interrupt requests to the processor in response to
a Change-Of-State (COS) on selected input pins. This
feature is capable of detecting input Change-Of-States,
even in Sleep mode, when the clocks are disabled.
Depending on the device pin count, there are up to
84 external inputs that may be selected (enabled) for
generating an interrupt request on a Change-Of-State.
Registers, CNEN1 through CNEN6, contain the inter-
rupt enable control bits for each of the CN input pins.
Setting any of these bits enables a CN interrupt for the
corresponding pins.
Each CN pin has a both a weak pull-up and a weak
pull-down connected to it. The pull-ups act as a current
source that is connected to the pin, while the
pull-downs act as a current sink that is connected to the
pin. These eliminate the need for external resistors
when push button or keypad devices are connected.
The pull-ups and pull-downs are separately enabled
using the CNPU1 through CNPU6 registers (for
pull-ups), and the CNPD1 through CNPD6 registers
(for pull-downs). Each CN pin has individual control bits
for its pull-up and pull-down. Setting a control bit
enables the weak pull-up or pull-down for the
corresponding pin.
When the internal pull-up is selected, the pin pulls up to
VDD 1.1V (typical). When the internal pull-down is
selected, the pin pulls down to VSS.
EXAMPLE 10-1: PORT WRITE/READ IN ASSEMBLY
EXAMPLE 10-2: PORT WRITE/READ IN C
Note: Pull-ups on change notification pins
should always be disabled whenever the
port pin is configured as a digital output.
Note: To use CN83 and CN84, which are on the
D+ and D- pins, the UTRDIS bit
(U1CNFG2<0>) should be set.

10.4 Peripheral Pin Select (PPS)
A major challenge in general purpose devices is provid-
ing the largest possible set of peripheral features while
minimizing the conflict of features on I/O pins. In an
application that needs to use more than one peripheral
multiplexed on a single pin, inconvenient work arounds
in application code or a complete redesign may be the
only option.
The Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) feature provides an
alternative to these choices by enabling the users
peripheral set selection and its placement on a wide
range of I/O pins. By increasing the pinout options
available on a particular device, users can better tailor
the microcontroller to their entire application, rather
than trimming the application to fit the device.
The Peripheral Pin Select feature operates over a fixed
subset of digital I/O pins. Users may independently
map the input and/or output of any one of many digital
peripherals to any one of these I/O pins. PPS is per-
formed in software and generally does not require the
device to be reprogrammed. Hardware safeguards are
included that prevent accidental or spurious changes to
the peripheral mapping once it has been established.
10.4.1 AVAILABLE PINS
The PPS feature is used with a range of up to 44 pins,
depending on the particular device and its pin count.
Pins that support the Peripheral Pin Select feature
include the designation, RPn or RPIn, in their full pin
designation, where n is the remappable pin number.
RP is used to designate pins that support both remap-
pable input and output functions, while RPI indicates
pins that support remappable input functions only.
PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices support a larger
number of remappable input only pins than remappable
input/output pins. In this device family, there are up to
32 remappable input/output pins, depending on the pin
count of the particular device selected; these are num-
bered, RP0 through RP31. Remappable input only pins
are numbered above this range, from RPI32 to RPI43
(or the upper limit for that particular device).
See Table 1-1 for a summary of pinout options in each
package offering.
10.4.2 AVAILABLE PERIPHERALS
The peripherals managed by the PPS are all digital
only peripherals. These include general serial commu-
nications (UART and SPI), general purpose timer clock
inputs, timer related peripherals (input capture and out-
put compare) and external interrupt inputs. Also
included are the outputs of the comparator module,
since these are discrete digital signals.
PPS is not available for I
2
C, change notification
inputs, RTCC alarm outputs, EPMP signals, graphics
controller signals or peripherals with analog inputs.
A key difference between pin select and non-pin select
peripherals is that pin select peripherals are not asso-
ciated with a default I/O pin. The peripheral must
always be assigned to a specific I/O pin before it can be
used. In contrast, non pin select peripherals are always
available on a default pin, assuming that the peripheral
is active and not conflicting with another peripheral.
10.4.2.1 Peripheral Pin Select Function
Priority
Pin-selectable peripheral outputs (e.g., OC, UART
transmit) will take priority over general purpose digital
functions on a pin, such as EPMP and port I/O. Special-
ized digital outputs, such as USB functionality, will take
priority over PPS outputs on the same pin. The pin
diagrams list peripheral outputs in the order of priority.
Refer to them for priority concerns on a particular pin.
Unlike PIC24F devices with fixed peripherals, pin
selectable peripheral inputs will never take ownership
of a pin. The pins output buffer will be controlled by the
TRISx setting or by a fixed peripheral on the pin. If the
pin is configured in digital mode then the PPS input will
operate correctly. If an analog function is enabled on
the pin the PPS input will be disabled.
10.4.3 CONTROLLING PERIPHERAL PIN
SELECT
PPS features are controlled through two sets of Special
Function Registers (SFRs): one to map peripheral
inputs and one to map outputs. Because they are
separately controlled, a particular peripherals input
and output (if the peripheral has both) can be placed on
any selectable function pin without constraint.
The association of a peripheral to a
peripheral-selectable pin is handled in two different
ways, depending on if an input or an output is being
mapped.
10.4.3.1 Input Mapping
The inputs of the Peripheral Pin Select options are
mapped on the basis of the peripheral; that is, a control
register associated with a peripheral dictates the pin it
will be mapped to. The RPINRx registers are used to
configure peripheral input mapping (see Register 10-8
through Register 10-28). Each register contains two
sets of 6-bit fields, with each set associated with one of
the pin-selectable peripherals. Programming a given
peripherals bit field with an appropriate 6-bit value
maps the RPn/RPIn pin with that value to that
peripheral. For any given device, the valid range of
values for any of the bit fields corresponds to the max-
imum number of Peripheral Pin Selections supported
by the device.

10.4.3.2 Output Mapping
In contrast to inputs, the outputs of the Peripheral Pin
Select options are mapped on the basis of the pin. In
this case, a control register associated with a particular
pin dictates the peripheral output to be mapped. The
RPORx registers are used to control output mapping.
Each register contains two 6-bit fields, with each field
being associated with one RPn pin (see Register 10-29
through Register 10-44). The value of the bit field
corresponds to one of the peripherals and that
peripherals output is mapped to the pin (see
Table 10-4).
Because of the mapping technique, the list of peripher-
als for output mapping also includes a null value of
000000. This permits any given pin to remain discon-

10.4.3.3 Mapping Limitations
The control schema of the Peripheral Pin Select is
extremely flexible. Other than systematic blocks that
prevent signal contention, caused by two physical pins
being configured as the same functional input or two
functional outputs configured as the same pin, there
are no hardware enforced lock outs. The flexibility
extends to the point of allowing a single input to drive
multiple peripherals or a single functional output to
drive multiple output pins.
10.4.3.4 Mapping Exceptions for
PIC24FJ256DA210 Devices
Although the PPS registers theoretically allow for up to
64 remappable I/O pins, not all of these are imple-
mented in all devices. For PIC24FJ256DA210 family
devices, the maximum number of remappable pins
available are 44, which includes 12 input only pins. In
addition, some pins in the RP and RPI sequences are
unimplemented in lower pin count devices. The
differences in available remappable pins are
summarized in Table 10-5.
When developing applications that use remappable
pins, users should also keep these things in mind:
For the RPINRx registers, bit combinations corre-
sponding to an unimplemented pin for a particular
device are treated as invalid; the corresponding
module will not have an input mapped to it. For all
PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices, this includes
all values greater than 43 (101011).
For RPORx registers, the bit fields corresponding
to an unimplemented pin will also be unimple-
mented. Writing to these fields will have no effect.
10.4.4 CONTROLLING CONFIGURATION
CHANGES
Because peripheral remapping can be changed during
run time, some restrictions on peripheral remapping
are needed to prevent accidental configuration
changes. PIC24F devices include three features to
prevent alterations to the peripheral map:
Control register lock sequence
Continuous state monitoring
Configuration bit remapping lock
10.4.4.1 Control Register Lock
Under normal operation, writes to the RPINRx and
RPORx registers are not allowed. Attempted writes will
appear to execute normally, but the contents of the
registers will remain unchanged. To change these reg-
isters, they must be unlocked in hardware. The register
lock is controlled by the IOLOCK bit (OSCCON<6>).
Setting IOLOCK prevents writes to the control
registers; clearing IOLOCK allows writes.
To set or clear IOLOCK, a specific command sequence
must be executed:
1. Write 46h to OSCCON<7:0>.
2. Write 57h to OSCCON<7:0>.
3. Clear (or set) IOLOCK as a single operation.
Unlike the similar sequence with the oscillators LOCK
bit, IOLOCK remains in one state until changed. This
allows all of the Peripheral Pin Selects to be configured
with a single unlock sequence, followed by an update
to all control registers, then locked with a second lock
sequence.
10.4.4.2 Continuous State Monitoring
In addition to being protected from direct writes, the
contents of the RPINRx and RPORx registers are
constantly monitored in hardware by shadow registers.
If an unexpected change in any of the registers occurs
(such as cell disturbances caused by ESD or other
external events), a Configuration Mismatch Reset will
be triggered.
10.4.4.3 Configuration Bit Pin Select Lock
As an additional level of safety, the device can be con-
figured to prevent more than one write session to the
RPINRx and RPORx registers. The IOL1WAY
(CW2<4>) Configuration bit blocks the IOLOCK bit
from being cleared after it has been set once. If
IOLOCK remains set, the register unlock procedure will
not execute and the Peripheral Pin Select Control reg-
isters cannot be written to. The only way to clear the bit
and re-enable peripheral remapping is to perform a
device Reset.
In the default (unprogrammed) state, IOL1WAY is set,
restricting users to one write session. Programming
IOL1WAY allows users unlimited access (with the
proper use of the unlock sequence) to the Peripheral
Pin Select registers.

10.4.5 CONSIDERATIONS FOR
PERIPHERAL PIN SELECTION
The ability to control Peripheral Pin Selection intro-
duces several considerations into application design
that could be overlooked. This is particularly true for
several common peripherals that are available only as
remappable peripherals.
The main consideration is that the Peripheral Pin
Selects are not available on default pins in the devices
default (Reset) state. Since all RPINRx registers reset
to 111111 and all RPORx registers reset to 000000,
all Peripheral Pin Select inputs are tied to VSS and all
Peripheral Pin Select outputs are disconnected.
This situation requires the user to initialize the device
with the proper peripheral configuration before any
other application code is executed. Since the IOLOCK
bit resets in the unlocked state, it is not necessary to
execute the unlock sequence after the device has
come out of Reset. For application safety, however, it is
best to set IOLOCK and lock the configuration after
writing to the control registers.
Because the unlock sequence is timing-critical, it must
be executed as an assembly language routine in the
same manner as changes to the oscillator configura-
tion. If the bulk of the application is written in C, or
another high-level language, the unlock sequence
should be performed by writing in-line assembly.
Choosing the configuration requires the review of all
Peripheral Pin Selects and their pin assignments,
especially those that will not be used in the application.
In all cases, unused pin-selectable peripherals should
be disabled completely. Unused peripherals should
have their inputs assigned to an unused RPn/RPIn pin
function. I/O pins with unused RPn functions should be
configured with the null peripheral output.
The assignment of a peripheral to a particular pin does
not automatically perform any other configuration of the
pins I/O circuitry. In theory, this means adding a
pin-selectable output to a pin may mean inadvertently
driving an existing peripheral input when the output is
driven. Users must be familiar with the behavior of
other fixed peripherals that share a remappable pin and
know when to enable or disable them. To be safe, fixed
digital peripherals that share the same pin should be
disabled when not in use.
Along these lines, configuring a remappable pin for a
specific peripheral does not automatically turn that
feature on. The peripheral must be specifically config-
ured for operation, and enabled as if it were tied to a fixed
pin. Where this happens in the application code (immedi-
ately following device Reset and peripheral configuration
or inside the main application routine) depends on the
peripheral and its use in the application.
A final consideration is that Peripheral Pin Select func-
tions neither override analog inputs nor reconfigure
pins with analog functions for digital I/O. If a pin is
configured as an analog input on device Reset, it must
be explicitly reconfigured as digital I/O when used with
a Peripheral Pin Select.
Example 10-3 shows a configuration for bidirectional
communication with flow control using UART1. The
following input and output functions are used:
Input Functions: U1RX, U1CTS
Output Functions: U1TX, U1RTS

Note: In tying Peripheral Pin Select inputs to

11.0 TIMER1
The Timer1 module is a 16-bit timer, which can serve
as the time counter for the Real-Time Clock (RTC) or
operate as a free-running, interval timer/counter.
Timer1 can operate in three modes:
16-Bit Timer
16-Bit Synchronous Counter
16-Bit Asynchronous Counter
Timer1 also supports these features:
Timer Gate Operation
Selectable Prescaler Settings
Timer Operation during CPU Idle and Sleep
modes
Interrupt on 16-Bit Period Register Match or
Falling Edge of External Gate Signal
Figure 11-1 presents a block diagram of the 16-bit timer

12.0 TIMER2/3 AND TIMER4/5
The Timer2/3 and Timer4/5 modules are 32-bit timers,
which can also be configured as four independent, 16-bit
timers with selectable operating modes.
As 32-bit timers, Timer2/3 and Timer4/5 can each
operate in three modes:
Two independent 16-bit timers with all 16-bit
operating modes (except Asynchronous Counter
mode)
Single 32-bit timer
Single 32-bit synchronous counter
They also support these features:
Timer Gate Operation
Selectable Prescaler Settings
Timer Operation during Idle and Sleep modes
Interrupt on a 32-Bit Period Register Match
ADC Event Trigger (only on Timer2/3 in 32-bit
mode and Timer3 in 16-bit mode)
Individually, all four of the 16-bit timers can function as
synchronous timers or counters. They also offer the
features listed above, except for the ADC Event
Trigger; this is implemented only on Timer2/3 in 32-bit
mode and Timer3 in 16-bit mode. The operating modes
and enabled features are determined by setting the
appropriate bit(s) in the T2CON, T3CON, T4CON and
T5CON registers. T2CON and T4CON are shown in
generic form in Register 12-1; T3CON and T5CON are
shown in Register 12-2.
For 32-bit timer/counter operation, Timer2 and Timer4
are the least significant word; Timer3 and Timer4 are
the most significant word of the 32-bit timers.
To configure Timer2/3 or Timer4/5 for 32-bit operation:
1. Set the T32 bit (T2CON<3> or T4CON<3> = 1).
2. Select the prescaler ratio for Timer2 or Timer4
using the TCKPS<1:0> bits.
3. Set the Clock and Gating modes using the TCS
and TGATE bits. If TCS is set to an external
clock, RPINRx (TxCK) must be configured to
an available RPn/RPIn pin. For more informa-
tion, see Section 10.4 Peripheral Pin Select
(PPS).
4. Load the timer period value. PR3 (or PR5) will
contain the most significant word (msw) of the
value while PR2 (or PR4) contains the least
significant word (lsw).
5. If interrupts are required, set the interrupt enable
bit, T3IE or T5IE; use the priority bits, T3IP<2:0>
or T5IP<2:0>, to set the interrupt priority. Note
that while Timer2 or Timer4 controls the timer,
the interrupt appears as a Timer3 or Timer5
interrupt.
6. Set the TON bit (= 1).
The timer value, at any point, is stored in the register
pair, TMR<3:2> (or TMR<5:4>). TMR3 (TMR5) always
contains the most significant word of the count, while
TMR2 (TMR4) contains the least significant word.
To configure any of the timers for individual 16-bit
operation:
1. Clear the T32 bit corresponding to that timer
(T2CON<3> for Timer2 and Timer3 or
T4CON<3> for Timer4 and Timer5).
2. Select the timer prescaler ratio using the
TCKPS<1:0> bits.
3. Set the Clock and Gating modes using the TCS
and TGATE bits. See Section 10.4 Peripheral
Pin Select (PPS) for more information.
4. Load the timer period value into the PRx register.
5. If interrupts are required, set the interrupt enable
bit, TxIE; use the priority bits, TxIP<2:0>, to set
the interrupt priority.
6. Set the TON (TxCON<15> = 1) bit.

of this group of PIC24F devices. It is not
intended to be a comprehensive reference
source. For more information, refer to the
PIC24F Family Reference Manual,
Section 14. Timers (DS39704). The
information in this data sheet supersedes
the information in the FRM.
Note: For 32-bit operation, T3CON and T5CON
control bits are ignored. Only T2CON and
T4CON control bits are used for setup and
control. Timer2 and Timer4 clock and gate
inputs are utilized for the 32-bit timer
modules, but an interrupt is generated with
the Timer3 or Timer5 interrupt flags.

13.0 INPUT CAPTURE WITH
DEDICATED TIMERS
Devices in the PIC24FJ256DA210 family comprise
nine independent input capture modules. Each of the
modules offers a wide range of configuration and
operating options for capturing external pulse events
and generating interrupts.
Key features of the input capture module include:
Hardware configurable for 32-bit operation in all
modes by cascading two adjacent modules
Synchronous and Trigger modes of output
compare operation, with up to 30 user-selectable
sync/trigger sources available
A 4-level FIFO buffer for capturing and holding
timer values for several events
Configurable interrupt generation
Up to 6 clock sources available for each module,
driving a separate internal 16-bit counter
The module is controlled through two registers:
ICxCON1 (Register 13-1) and ICxCON2 (Register 13-2).
A general block diagram of the module is shown in
Figure 13-1.
13.1 General Operating Modes
13.1.1 SYNCHRONOUS AND TRIGGER
MODES
When the input capture module operates in a
free-running mode, the internal 16-bit counter,
ICxTMR, counts up continuously, wrapping around
from FFFFh to 0000h on each overflow, with its period
synchronized to the selected external clock source.
When a capture event occurs, the current 16-bit value
of the internal counter is written to the FIFO buffer.
In Synchronous mode, the module begins capturing
events on the ICx pin as soon as its selected clock
source is enabled. Whenever an event occurs on the
selected sync source, the internal counter is reset. In
Trigger mode, the module waits for a Sync event from
another internal module to occur before allowing the
internal counter to run.
Standard, free-running operation is selected by setting
the SYNCSEL bits (ICxCON2<4:0>) to 00000 and
clearing the ICTRIG bit (ICxCON2<7>). Synchronous
and Trigger modes are selected any time the
SYNCSEL bits are set to any value except 00000.
The ICTRIG bit selects either Synchronous or Trigger
mode; setting the bit selects Trigger mode operation. In
both modes, the SYNCSEL bits determine the
sync/trigger source.
When the SYNCSEL bits are set to 00000 and
ICTRIG is set, the module operates in Software Trigger
mode. In this case, capture operations are started by
manually setting the TRIGSTAT bit (ICxCON2<6>).

13.1.2 CASCADED (32-BIT) MODE
By default, each module operates independently with
its own 16-bit timer. To increase resolution, adjacent
even and odd modules can be configured to function as
a single 32-bit module. (For example, Modules 1 and 2
are paired, as are Modules 3 and 4, and so on.) The
odd numbered module (ICx) provides the Least Signif-
icant 16 bits of the 32-bit register pairs and the even
module (ICy) provides the Most Significant 16 bits.
Wrap-arounds of the ICx registers cause an increment
of their corresponding ICy registers.
Cascaded operation is configured in hardware by
setting the IC32 bits (ICxCON2<8>) for both modules.
13.2 Capture Operations
The input capture module can be configured to capture
timer values and generate interrupts on rising edges on
ICx or all transitions on ICx. Captures can be config-
ured to occur on all rising edges or just some (every 4
th
or 16
th
). Interrupts can be independently configured to
generate on each event or a subset of events.
To set up the module for capture operations:
1. Configure the ICx input for one of the available
Peripheral Pin Select pins.
2. If Synchronous mode is to be used, disable the
sync source before proceeding.
3. Make sure that any previous data has been
removed from the FIFO by reading ICxBUF until
the ICBNE bit (ICxCON1<3>) is cleared.
4. Set the SYNCSEL bits (ICxCON2<4:0>) to the
desired sync/trigger source.
5. Set the ICTSEL bits (ICxCON1<12:10>) for the
desired clock source.
6. Set the ICI bits (ICxCON1<6:5>) to the desired
interrupt frequency
7. Select Synchronous or Trigger mode operation:
a) Check that the SYNCSEL bits are not set to
00000.
b) For Synchronous mode, clear the ICTRIG
bit (ICxCON2<7>).
c) For Trigger mode, set ICTRIG, and clear the
TRIGSTAT bit (ICxCON2<6>).
8. Set the ICM bits (ICxCON1<2:0>) to the desired
operational mode.
9. Enable the selected sync/trigger source.
For 32-bit cascaded operations, the setup procedure is
slightly different:
1. Set the IC32 bits for both modules
(ICyCON2<8>) and (ICxCON2<8>), enabling
the even numbered module first. This ensures
the modules will start functioning in unison.
2. Set the ICTSEL and SYNCSEL bits for both
modules to select the same sync/trigger and
time base source. Set the even module first,
then the odd module. Both modules must use
the same ICTSEL and SYNCSEL settings.
3. Clear the ICTRIG bit of the even module
(ICyCON2<7>). This forces the module to run in
Synchronous mode with the odd module,
regardless of its trigger setting.
4. Use the odd modules ICI bits (ICxCON1<6:5>)
to set the desired interrupt frequency.
5. Use the ICTRIG bit of the odd module
(ICxCON2<7>) to configure Trigger or
Synchronous mode operation.
6. Use the ICM bits of the odd module
(ICxCON1<2:0>) to set the desired capture
mode.
The module is ready to capture events when the time
base and the sync/trigger source are enabled. When
the ICBNE bit (ICxCON1<3>) becomes set, at least
one capture value is available in the FIFO. Read input
capture values from the FIFO until the ICBNE clears to
0.
For 32-bit operation, read both the ICxBUF and
ICyBUF for the full 32-bit timer value (ICxBUF for the
lsw, ICyBUF for the msw). At least one capture value is
available in the FIFO buffer when the odd modules
ICBNE bit (ICxCON1<3>) becomes set. Continue to
read the buffer registers until ICBNE is cleared
(performed automatically by hardware).
Note: For Synchronous mode operation, enable
the sync source as the last step. Both
input capture modules are held in Reset
until the sync source is enabled.

PIC24FJ256DA210 FAMILY
14.0 OUTPUT COMPARE WITH
DEDICATED TIMERS
Devices in the PIC24FJ256DA210 family feature all of
the 9 independent output compare modules. Each of
these modules offers a wide range of configuration and
operating options for generating pulse trains on internal
device events, and can produce pulse-width modulated
waveforms for driving power applications.
Key features of the output compare module include:
Hardware configurable for 32-bit operation in all
modes by cascading two adjacent modules
Synchronous and Trigger modes of output
compare operation, with up to 31 user-selectable
trigger/sync sources available
Two separate period registers (a main register,
OCxR, and a secondary register, OCxRS) for
greater flexibility in generating pulses of varying
widths
Configurable for single pulse or continuous pulse
generation on an output event, or continuous
PWM waveform generation
Up to 6 clock sources available for each module,
driving a separate internal 16-bit counter
14.1 General Operating Modes
14.1.1 SYNCHRONOUS AND TRIGGER
MODES
When the output compare module operates in a
free-running mode, the internal 16-bit counter,
OCxTMR, runs counts up continuously, wrapping
around from 0xFFFF to 0x0000 on each overflow, with
its period synchronized to the selected external clock
source. Compare or PWM events are generated each
time a match between the internal counter and one of
the period registers occurs.
In Synchronous mode, the module begins performing
its compare or PWM operation as soon as its selected
clock source is enabled. Whenever an event occurs on
the selected sync source, the modules internal counter
is reset. In Trigger mode, the module waits for a sync
event from another internal module to occur before
allowing the counter to run.
Free-running mode is selected by default or any time
that the SYNCSEL bits (OCxCON2<4:0>) are set to
00000. Synchronous or Trigger modes are selected
any time the SYNCSEL bits are set to any value except
00000. The OCTRIG bit (OCxCON2<7>) selects
either Synchronous or Trigger mode; setting the bit
selects Trigger mode operation. In both modes, the
SYNCSEL bits determine the sync/trigger source.
14.1.2 CASCADED (32-BIT) MODE
By default, each module operates independently with
its own set of 16-bit timer and duty cycle registers. To
increase resolution, adjacent even and odd modules
can be configured to function as a single 32-bit module.
(For example, Modules 1 and 2 are paired, as are
Modules 3 and 4, and so on.) The odd numbered
module (OCx) provides the Least Significant 16 bits of
the 32-bit register pairs and the even module (OCy)
provides the Most Significant 16 bits. Wrap-arounds of
the OCx registers cause an increment of their
corresponding OCy registers.
Cascaded operation is configured in hardware by set-
ting the OC32 bit (OCxCON2<8>) for both modules.
For more details on cascading, refer to the PIC24F
Family Reference Manual, Section 35. Output
Compare with Dedicated Timer.

14.2 Compare Operations
In Compare mode (Figure 14-1), the output compare
module can be configured for single-shot or continuous
pulse generation. It can also repeatedly toggle an
output pin on each timer event.
To set up the module for compare operations:
1. Configure the OCx output for one of the
available Peripheral Pin Select pins.
2. Calculate the required values for the OCxR and
(for Double Compare modes) OCxRS Duty Cycle
registers:
a) Determine the instruction clock cycle time.
Take into account the frequency of the
external clock to the timer source (if one is
used) and the timer prescaler settings.
b) Calculate time to the rising edge of the
output pulse relative to the timer start value
(0000h).
c) Calculate the time to the falling edge of the
pulse based on the desired pulse width and
the time to the rising edge of the pulse.
3. Write the rising edge value to OCxR and the
falling edge value to OCxRS.
4. Set the Timer Period register, PRy, to a value
equal to or greater than the value in OCxRS.
5. Set the OCM<2:0> bits for the appropriate
compare operation (= 0xx).
6. For Trigger mode operations, set OCTRIG to
enable Trigger mode. Set or clear TRIGMODE to
configure trigger operation and TRIGSTAT to
select a hardware or software trigger. For
Synchronous mode, clear OCTRIG.
7. Set the SYNCSEL<4:0> bits to configure the
trigger or synchronization source. If free-running
timer operation is required, set the SYNCSEL
bits to 00000 (no sync/trigger source).
8. Select the time base source with the
OCTSEL<2:0> bits. If necessary, set the TON
bits for the selected timer, which enables the
compare time base to count. Synchronous
mode operation starts as soon as the time base
is enabled; Trigger mode operation starts after a
trigger source event occurs.

For 32-bit cascaded operation, these steps are also
necessary:
1. Set the OC32 bits for both registers
(OCyCON2<8>) and (OCxCON2<8>). Enable
the even numbered module first to ensure the
modules will start functioning in unison.
2. Clear the OCTRIG bit of the even module
(OCyCON2), so the module will run in
Synchronous mode.
3. Configure the desired output and Fault settings
for OCy.
4. Force the output pin for OCx to the output state
by clearing the OCTRIS bit.
5. If Trigger mode operation is required, configure
the trigger options in OCx by using the OCTRIG
(OCxCON2<7>), TRIGMODE (OCxCON1<3>)
and SYNCSEL (OCxCON2<4:0>) bits.
6. Configure the desired Compare or PWM mode
of operation (OCM<2:0>) for OCy first, then for
OCx.
Depending on the output mode selected, the module
holds the OCx pin in its default state and forces a tran-
sition to the opposite state when OCxR matches the
timer. In Double Compare modes, OCx is forced back
to its default state when a match with OCxRS occurs.
The OCxIF interrupt flag is set after an OCxR match in
Single Compare modes and after each OCxRS match
in Double Compare modes.
Single-shot pulse events only occur once, but may be
repeated by simply rewriting the value of the
OCxCON1 register. Continuous pulse events continue
indefinitely until terminated.
14.3 Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)
Mode
In PWM mode, the output compare module can be
configured for edge-aligned or center-aligned pulse
waveform generation. All PWM operations are
double-buffered (buffer registers are internal to the
module and are not mapped into SFR space).
To configure the output compare module for PWM
operation:
1. Configure the OCx output for one of the
available Peripheral Pin Select pins.
2. Calculate the desired duty cycles and load them
into the OCxR register.
3. Calculate the desired period and load it into the
OCxRS register.
4. Select the current OCx as the synchronization
source by writing 0x1F to the SYNCSEL<4:0>
bits (OCxCON2<4:0>) and 0 to the OCTRIG bit
(OCxCON2<7>).
5. Select a clock source by writing to the
OCTSEL<2:0> bits (OCxCON<12:10>).
6. Enable interrupts, if required, for the timer and
output compare modules. The output compare
interrupt is required for PWM Fault pin utilization.
7. Select the desired PWM mode in the OCM<2:0>
bits (OCxCON1<2:0>).
8. Appropriate Fault inputs may be enabled by using
the ENFLT<2:0> bits as described in
Register 14-1.
9. If a timer is selected as a clock source, set the
selected timer prescale value. The selected
timers prescaler output is used as the clock input
for the OCx timer, and not the selected timer
output.
Note: This peripheral contains input and output
functions that may need to be configured
by the Peripheral Pin Select. See
Section 10.4 Peripheral Pin Select
(PPS) for more information.

written into the PRy register will yield a period consisting of 8 time base cycles.

PIC24FJ256DA210 FAMILY
14.3.2 PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the
OCxRS and OCxR registers. The OCxRS and OCxR
registers can be written to at any time, but the duty
cycle value is not latched until a match between PRy
and TMRy occurs (i.e., the period is complete). This
provides a double buffer for the PWM duty cycle and is
essential for glitchless PWM operation.
Some important boundary parameters of the PWM duty
cycle include:
If OCxR, OCxRS, and PRy are all loaded with
0000h, the OCx pin will remain low (0% duty
cycle).
If OCxRS is greater than PRy, the pin will remain
high (100% duty cycle).
See Example 14-1 for PWM mode timing details.
Table 14-1 and Table 14-2 show example PWM
frequencies and resolutions for a device operating at
4 MIPS and 10 MIPS, respectively.

15.0 SERIAL PERIPHERAL
INTERFACE (SPI)
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) module is a
synchronous serial interface useful for communicating
with other peripheral or microcontroller devices. These
peripheral devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift
registers, display drivers, A/D Converters, etc. The SPI
module is compatible with the SPI and SIOP Motorola

interfaces. All devices of the PIC24FJ256DA210 family

include three SPI modules.
The module supports operation in two buffer modes. In
Standard mode, data is shifted through a single serial
buffer. In Enhanced Buffer mode, data is shifted
through an 8-level FIFO buffer.
The module also supports a basic framed SPI protocol
while operating in either Master or Slave mode. A total
of four framed SPI configurations are supported.
The SPI serial interface consists of four pins:
SDIx: Serial Data Input
SDOx: Serial Data Output
SCKx: Shift Clock Input or Output
SSx: Active-Low Slave Select or Frame
Synchronization I/O Pulse
The SPI module can be configured to operate using 2,
3 or 4 pins. In the 3-pin mode, SSx is not used. In the
2-pin mode, both SDOx and SSx are not used.
Block diagrams of the module in Standard and
Enhanced modes are shown in Figure 15-1 and
Figure 15-2.
Note: This data sheet summarizes the features
of this group of PIC24F devices. It is not
intended to be a comprehensive reference
source. For more information, refer to the
PIC24F Family Reference Manual,
Section 23. Serial Peripheral Interface
(SPI) (DS39699). The information in this
data sheet supersedes the information in
the FRM.
Note: Do not perform read-modify-write opera-
tions (such as bit-oriented instructions) on
the SPIxBUF register in either Standard or
Enhanced Buffer mode.
Note: In this section, the SPI modules are
referred to together as SPIx or separately
as SPI1, SPI2 or SPI3. Special Function
Registers will follow a similar notation. For
example, SPIxCON1 and SPIxCON2 refer
to the control registers for any of the 3 SPI
modules.

PIC24FJ256DA210 FAMILY
16.0 INTER-INTEGRATED
CIRCUIT (I
2
C)
The Inter-Integrated Circuit (I
2
C) module is a serial
interface useful for communicating with other periph-
eral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral
devices may be serial EEPROMs, display drivers, A/D
Converters, etc.
The I
2
C module supports these features:
Independent master and slave logic
7-bit and 10-bit device addresses
General call address, as defined in the I
2
C protocol
Clock stretching to provide delays for the
processor to respond to a slave data request
Both 100 kHz and 400 kHz bus specifications
Configurable address masking
Multi-Master modes to prevent loss of messages
in arbitration
Bus Repeater mode, allowing the acceptance of
all messages as a slave regardless of the address
Automatic SCL
A block diagram of the module is shown in Figure 16-1.
16.1 Communicating as a Master in a
Single Master Environment
The details of sending a message in Master mode
depends on the communications protocol for the device
being communicated with. Typically, the sequence of
events is as follows:
1. Assert a Start condition on SDAx and SCLx.
2. Send the I
2
C device address byte to the slave
with a write indication.
3. Wait for and verify an Acknowledge from the
slave.
4. Send the first data byte (sometimes known as
the command) to the slave.
5. Wait for and verify an Acknowledge from the
slave.
6. Send the serial memory address low byte to the
slave.
7. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all data bytes are
sent.
8. Assert a Repeated Start condition on SDAx and
SCLx.
9. Send the device address byte to the slave with
a read indication.
10. Wait for and verify an Acknowledge from the
slave.
11. Enable master reception to receive serial
memory data.
12. Generate an ACK or NACK condition at the end
of a received byte of data.
13. Generate a Stop condition on SDAx and SCLx.

of this group of PIC24F devices. It is not
intended to be a comprehensive reference

16.3 Slave Address Masking
The I2CxMSK register (Register 16-3) designates
address bit positions as dont care for both 7-Bit and
10-Bit Addressing modes. Setting a particular bit loca-
tion (= 1) in the I2CxMSK register causes the slave
module to respond whether the corresponding address
bit value is a 0 or a 1. For example, when I2CxMSK
is set to 00100000, the slave module will detect both
addresses, 0000000 and 0100000.
To enable address masking, the Intelligent Peripheral
Management Interface (IPMI) must be disabled by
clearing the IPMIEN bit (I2CxCON<11>).

17.0 UNIVERSAL ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER TRANSMITTER
(UART)
The Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter
(UART) module is one of the serial I/O modules available
in the PIC24F device family. The UART is a full-duplex,
asynchronous system that can communicate with
peripheral devices, such as personal computers,
LIN/J2602, RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces. The module
also supports a hardware flow control option with the
UxCTS and UxRTS pins, and also includes an IrDA

encoder and decoder.

The primary features of the UART module are:
Full-Duplex, 8 or 9-Bit data transmission through
the UxTX and UxRX pins
Even, Odd or No Parity options (for 8-bit data)
One or two Stop bits
Hardware Flow Control option with the UxCTS
and UxRTS pins
Fully Integrated Baud Rate Generator with 16-Bit
Prescaler
Baud Rates Ranging from 15 bps to 1 Mbps at
16 MIPS
4-Deep, First-In-First-Out (FIFO) Transmit Data
Buffer
4-Deep FIFO Receive Data Buffer
Parity, Framing and Buffer Overrun Error Detection
Support for 9-bit mode with Address Detect
(9
th
bit = 1)
Transmit and Receive Interrupts
Loopback mode for Diagnostic Support
Support for Sync and Break Characters
Supports Automatic Baud Rate Detection

17.1 UART Baud Rate Generator (BRG)
The UART module includes a dedicated, 16-bit Baud
Rate Generator. The UxBRG register controls the
period of a free-running, 16-bit timer. Equation 17-1
shows the formula for computation of the baud rate with
BRGH = 0.
EQUATION 17-1: UART BAUD RATE WITH
BRGH = 0
(1,2)
Example 17-1 shows the calculation of the baud rate
error for the following conditions:
FCY = 4 MHz
Desired Baud Rate = 9600
The maximum baud rate (BRGH = 0) possible is
FCY/16 (for UxBRG = 0) and the minimum baud rate
possible is FCY/(16 * 65536).
Equation 17-2 shows the formula for computation of
the baud rate with BRGH = 1.
EQUATION 17-2: UART BAUD RATE WITH
BRGH = 1
(1,2)
The maximum baud rate (BRGH = 1) possible is FCY/4
(for UxBRG = 0) and the minimum baud rate possible
is FCY/(4 * 65536).
Writing a new value to the UxBRG register causes the
BRG timer to be reset (cleared). This ensures the BRG
does not wait for a timer overflow before generating the
new baud rate.
EXAMPLE 17-1: BAUD RATE ERROR CALCULATION (BRGH = 0)
(1)

Note 1: FCY denotes the instruction cycle clock
frequency (FOSC/2).
2: Based on FCY = FOSC/2; Doze mode
and PLL are disabled.
Baud Rate =
FCY
16 (UxBRG + 1)
UxBRG =
FCY
16 Baud Rate
1
Note 1: FCY denotes the instruction cycle clock
frequency.
2: Based on FCY = FOSC/2; Doze mode
and PLL are disabled.
Baud Rate =
FCY
4 (UxBRG + 1)
UxBRG =
FCY
4 Baud Rate
1
Note: Based on FCY = FOSC/2; Doze mode and PLL are disabled.
Desired Baud Rate = FCY/(16 (BRGx + 1))
Solving for BRGx Value:
BRGx = ((FCY/Desired Baud Rate)/16) 1
BRGx = ((4000000/9600)/16) 1
BRGx = 25
Calculated Baud Rate = 4000000/(16 (25 + 1))
= 9615
Error = (Calculated Baud Rate Desired Baud Rate)
Desired Baud Rate
= (9615 9600)/9600

17.2 Transmitting in 8-Bit Data Mode
1. Set up the UART:
a) Write appropriate values for data, parity and
Stop bits.
b) Write appropriate baud rate value to the
UxBRG register.
c) Set up transmit and receive interrupt enable
and priority bits.
2. Enable the UART.
3. Set the UTXEN bit (causes a transmit interrupt
two cycles after being set).
4. Write a data byte to the lower byte of UxTXREG
word. The value will be immediately transferred
to the Transmit Shift Register (TSR) and the
serial bit stream will start shifting out with the
next rising edge of the baud clock.
5. Alternately, the data byte may be transferred
while UTXEN = 0 and then the user may set
UTXEN. This will cause the serial bit stream to
begin immediately because the baud clock will
start from a cleared state.
6. A transmit interrupt will be generated as per
interrupt control bit, UTXISELx.
17.3 Transmitting in 9-Bit Data Mode
1. Set up the UART (as described in Section 17.2
Transmitting in 8-Bit Data Mode).
2. Enable the UART.
3. Set the UTXEN bit (causes a transmit interrupt).
4. Write UxTXREG as a 16-bit value only.
5. A word write to UxTXREG triggers the transfer
of the 9-bit data to the TSR. The serial bit stream
will start shifting out with the first rising edge of
the baud clock.
6. A transmit interrupt will be generated as per the
setting of control bit, UTXISELx.
17.4 Break and Sync Transmit
Sequence
The following sequence will send a message frame
header, made up of a Break, followed by an auto-baud
Sync byte.
1. Configure the UART for the desired mode.
2. Set UTXEN and UTXBRK to set up the Break
character.
3. Load the UxTXREG with a dummy character to
initiate transmission (value is ignored).
4. Write 55h to UxTXREG; this loads the Sync
character into the transmit FIFO.
5. After the Break has been sent, the UTXBRK bit
is reset by hardware. The Sync character now
transmits.
17.5 Receiving in 8-Bit or 9-Bit Data
Mode
1. Set up the UART (as described in Section 17.2
Transmitting in 8-Bit Data Mode).
2. Enable the UART.
3. A receive interrupt will be generated when one
or more data characters have been received as
per interrupt control bit, URXISELx.
4. Read the OERR bit to determine if an overrun
error has occurred. The OERR bit must be reset
in software.
5. Read UxRXREG.
The act of reading the UxRXREG character will move
the next character to the top of the receive FIFO,
including a new set of PERR and FERR values.
17.6 Operation of UxCTS and UxRTS
Control Pins
UARTx Clear to Send (UxCTS) and Request to Send
(UxRTS) are the two hardware controlled pins that are
associated with the UART module. These two pins
allow the UART to operate in Simplex and Flow Control
mode. They are implemented to control the transmis-
sion and reception between the Data Terminal
Equipment (DTE). The UEN<1:0> bits in the UxMODE
register configure these pins.
17.7 Infrared Support
The UART module provides two types of infrared UART
support: one is the IrDA clock output to support an
external IrDA encoder and decoder device (legacy
module support), and the other is the full implementa-
tion of the IrDA encoder and decoder. Note that
because the IrDA modes require a 16x baud clock, they
will only work when the BRGH bit (UxMODE<3>) is 0.
17.7.1 IrDA CLOCK OUTPUT FOR
EXTERNAL IrDA SUPPORT
To support external IrDA encoder and decoder devices,
the BCLKx pin (same as the UxRTS pin) can be
configured to generate the 16x baud clock. With
UEN<1:0> = 11, the BCLKx pin will output the 16x
baud clock if the UART module is enabled. It can be
used to support the IrDA codec chip.
17.7.2 BUILT-IN IrDA ENCODER AND
DECODER
The UART has full implementation of the IrDA encoder
and decoder as part of the UART module. The built-in
IrDA encoder and decoder functionality is enabled
using the IREN bit (UxMODE<12>). When enabled
(IREN = 1), the receive pin (UxRX) acts as the input
from the infrared receiver. The transmit pin (UxTX) acts
as the output to the infrared transmitter.

18.0 UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS WITH
ON-THE-GO SUPPORT (USB
OTG)
PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices contain a full-speed
and low-speed compatible, On-The-Go (OTG) USB
Serial Interface Engine (SIE). The OTG capability
allows the device to act either as a USB peripheral
device or as a USB embedded host with limited host
capabilities. The OTG capability allows the device to
dynamically switch from device to host operation using
OTGs Host Negotiation Protocol (HNP).
For more details on OTG operation, refer to the
On-The-Go Supplement to the USB 2.0 Specification,
published by the USB-IF. For more details on USB oper-
ation, refer to the Universal Serial Bus Specification,
v2.0.
The USB OTG module offers these features:
USB functionality in Device and Host modes, and
OTG capabilities for application-controlled mode
switching
Software-selectable module speeds of full speed
(12 Mbps) or low speed (1.5 Mbps, available in
Host mode only)
Support for all four USB transfer types: control,
interrupt, bulk and isochronous
16 bidirectional endpoints for a total of 32 unique
endpoints
DMA interface for data RAM access
Queues up to sixteen unique endpoint transfers
without servicing
Integrated, on-chip USB transceiver with support
for off-chip transceivers via a digital interface
Integrated VBUS generation with on-chip
comparators and boost generation, and support of
external VBUS comparators and regulators
through a digital interface
Configurations for on-chip bus pull-up and
pull-down resistors
A simplified block diagram of the USB OTG module is
shown in Figure 18-1.
The USB OTG module can function as a USB peripheral
device or as a USB host, and may dynamically switch
between Device and Host modes under software
control. In either mode, the same data paths and Buffer
Descriptors (BDs) are used for the transmission and
reception of data.
In discussing USB operation, this section will use a
controller-centric nomenclature for describing the direc-
tion of the data transfer between the microcontroller and
the USB. RX (Receive) will be used to describe transfers
that move data from the USB to the microcontroller and
TX (Transmit) will be used to describe transfers that
move data from the microcontroller to the USB.
Table 18-1 shows the relationship between data
direction in this nomenclature and the USB tokens
exchanged.

This chapter presents the most basic operations
needed to implement USB OTG functionality in an
application. A complete and detailed discussion of the
USB protocol and its OTG supplement are beyond the
scope of this data sheet. It is assumed that the user
already has a basic understanding of USB architecture
and the latest version of the protocol.
Not all steps for proper USB operation (such as device
enumeration) are presented here. It is recommended
that application developers use an appropriate device
driver to implement all of the necessary features.
Microchip provides a number of application-specific
resources, such as USB firmware and driver support.
Refer to www.microchip.com/usb for the latest
firmware and driver support.

18.1 Hardware Configuration
18.1.1 DEVICE MODE
18.1.1.1 D+ Pull-up Resistor
PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices have a built-in
1.5 kO resistor on the D+ line that is available when the
microcontroller is operating in Device mode. This is
used to signal an external Host that the device is
operating in Full-Speed Device mode. It is engaged by
setting the USBEN bit (U1CON<0>). If the OTGEN bit
(U1OTGCON<2>) is set, then the D+ pull-up is enabled
through the DPPULUP bit (U1OTGCON<7>).
Alternatively, an external resistor may be used on D+,
as shown in Figure 18-2.
FIGURE 18-2: EXTERNAL PULL-UP FOR
FULL-SPEED DEVICE
MODE
18.1.1.2 Power Modes
Many USB applications will likely have several different
sets of power requirements and configuration. The
most common power modes encountered are:
Bus Power Only mode
Self-Power Only mode
Dual Power with Self-Power Dominance
Bus Power Only mode (Figure 18-3) is effectively the
simplest method. All power for the application is drawn
from the USB.
To meet the inrush current requirements of the USB 2.0
Specification, the total effective capacitance appearing
across VBUS and ground must be no more than 10 F.
In the USB Suspend mode, devices must consume no
more than 2.5 mA from the 5V VBUS line of the USB
cable. During the USB Suspend mode, the D+ or D-
pull-up resistor must remain active, which will consume
some of the allowed suspend current.
In Self-Power Only mode (Figure 18-4), the USB
application provides its own power, with very little
power being pulled from the USB. Note that an attach
indication is added to indicate when the USB has been
connected and the host is actively powering VBUS.
To meet compliance specifications, the USB module
(and the D+ or D- pull-up resistor) should not be enabled
until the host actively drives VBUS high. One of the 5.5V
tolerant I/O pins may be used for this purpose.
The application should never source any current onto
the 5V VBUS pin of the USB cable.
The Dual Power mode with Self-Power Dominance
(Figure 18-5) allows the application to use internal
power primarily, but switch to power from the USB
when no internal power is available. Dual power
devices must also meet all of the special requirements
for inrush current and Suspend mode current previ-
ously described, and must not enable the USB module
until VBUS is driven high.

18.1.2 HOST AND OTG MODES
18.1.2.1 D+ and D- Pull-Down Resistors
PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices have a built-in
15 kO pull-down resistor on the D+ and D- lines. These
are used in tandem to signal to the bus that the micro-
controller is operating in Host mode. They are engaged
by setting the HOSTEN bit (U1CON<3>). If the OTGEN
bit (U1OTGCON<2>) is set, then these pull-downs are
enabled by setting the DPPULDWN and DMPULDWN
bits (U1OTGCON<5:4>).
18.1.2.2 Power Configurations
In Host mode, as well as Host mode in On-The-Go
operation, the USB 2.0 Specification requires that the
host application should supply power on VBUS. Since
the microcontroller is running below VBUS, and is not
able to source sufficient current, a separate power
supply must be provided.
When the application is always operating in Host mode,
a simple circuit can be used to supply VBUS and regu-
late current on the bus (Figure 18-6). For OTG opera-
tion, it is necessary to be able to turn VBUS on or off as
needed, as the microcontroller switches between
Device and Host modes. A typical example using an
external charge pump is shown in Figure 18-7.

18.1.2.3 VBUS Voltage Generation with
External Devices
When operating as a USB host, either as an A-device
in an OTG configuration or as an embedded host, VBUS
must be supplied to the attached device.
PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices have an internal
VBUS boost assist to help generate the required 5V
VBUS from the available voltages on the board. This is
comprised of a simple PWM output to control a Switch
mode power supply, and built-in comparators to
monitor output voltage and limit current.
To enable voltage generation:
1. Verify that the USB module is powered
(U1PWRC<0> = 1) and that the VBUS discharge
is disabled (U1OTGCON<0> = 0).
2. Set the PWM period (U1PWMRRS<7:0>) and
duty cycle (U1PWMRRS<15:8>) as required.
3. Select the required polarity of the output signal
based on the configuration of the external circuit
with the PWMPOL bit (U1PWMCON<9>).
4. Select the desired target voltage using the
VBUSCHG bit (U1OTGCON<1>).
5. Enable the PWM counter by setting the CNTEN
bit to 1 (U1PWMCON<8>).
6. Enable the PWM module by setting the PWMEN
bit (U1PWMCON<15>) to 1.
7. Enable the VBUS generation circuit
(U1OTGCON<3> = 1).
18.1.3 USING AN EXTERNAL INTERFACE
Some applications may require the USB interface to be
isolated from the rest of the system.
PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices include a complete
interface to communicate with and control an external
USB transceiver, including the control of data line
pull-ups and pull-downs. The VBUS voltage generation
control circuit can also be configured for different VBUS
generation topologies.
Refer to the PIC24F Family Reference Manual,
Section 27. USB On-The-Go (OTG) for information
on using the external interface.
18.1.4 CALCULATING TRANSCEIVER
POWER REQUIREMENTS
The USB transceiver consumes a variable amount of
current depending on the characteristic impedance of
the USB cable, the length of the cable, the VUSB supply
voltage and the actual data patterns moving across the
USB cable. Longer cables have larger capacitances
and consume more total energy when switching output
states. The total transceiver current consumption will
be application-specific. Equation 18-1 can help
estimate how much current actually may be required in
full-speed applications.
Refer to the PIC24F Family Reference Manual,
Section 27. USB On-The-Go (OTG) for a complete
discussion on transceiver power consumption.
EQUATION 18-1: ESTIMATING USB TRANSCEIVER CURRENT CONSUMPTION
Note: This section describes the general
process for VBUS voltage generation and
control. Please refer to the PIC24F
Family Reference Manual for additional
examples.

18.2 USB Buffer Descriptors and
the BDT
Endpoint buffer control is handled through a structure
called the Buffer Descriptor Table (BDT). This provides
a flexible method for users to construct and control
endpoint buffers of various lengths and configurations.
The BDT can be located in any available, 512-byte
aligned block of data RAM. The BDT Pointer
(U1BDTP1) contains the upper address byte of the
BDT and sets the location of the BDT in RAM. The user
must set this pointer to indicate the tables location.
The BDT is composed of Buffer Descriptors (BDs)
which are used to define and control the actual buffers
in the USB RAM space. Each BD consists of two, 16-bit
soft (non-fixed-address) registers, BDnSTAT and
BDnADR, where n represents one of the 64 possible
BDs (range of 0 to 63). BDnSTAT is the status register
for BDn, while BDnADR specifies the starting address
for the buffer associated with BDn.
Depending on the endpoint buffering configuration
used, there are up to 64 sets of Buffer Descriptors, for
a total of 256 bytes. At a minimum, the BDT must be at
least 8 bytes long. This is because the USB Specifica-
tion mandates that every device must have Endpoint 0
with both input and output for initial setup.
Endpoint mapping in the BDT is dependent on three
variables:
Endpoint number (0 to 15)
Endpoint direction (RX or TX)
Ping-pong settings (U1CNFG1<1:0>)
Figure 18-8 illustrates how these variables are used to
map endpoints in the BDT.
In Host mode, only Endpoint 0 Buffer Descriptors are
used. All transfers utilize the Endpoint 0 Buffer Descrip-
tor and Endpoint Control register (U1EP0). For received
packets, the attached devices source endpoint is
indicated by the value of ENDPT<3:0> in the USB status
register (U1STAT<7:4>). For transmitted packet, the
attached devices destination endpoint is indicated by
the value written to the Token register (U1TOK).
FIGURE 18-8: BDT MAPPING FOR ENDPOINT BUFFERING MODES
Note: Since BDnADR is a 16-bit register, only
the first 64 Kbytes of RAM can be
accessed by the USB module.

PIC24FJ256DA210 FAMILY
BDs have a fixed relationship to a particular endpoint,
depending on the buffering configuration. Table 18-2
provides the mapping of BDs to endpoints. This rela-
tionship also means that gaps may occur in the BDT if
endpoints are not enabled contiguously. This, theoreti-
cally, means that the BDs for disabled endpoints could
be used as buffer space. In practice, users should
avoid using such spaces in the BDT unless a method
of validating BD addresses is implemented.
18.2.1 BUFFER OWNERSHIP
Because the buffers and their BDs are shared between
the CPU and the USB module, a simple semaphore
mechanism is used to distinguish which is allowed to
update the BD and associated buffers in memory. This
is done by using the UOWN bit as a semaphore to
distinguish which is allowed to update the BD and
associated buffers in memory. UOWN is the only bit
that is shared between the two configurations of
BDnSTAT.
When UOWN is clear, the BD entry is owned by the
microcontroller core. When the UOWN bit is set, the BD
entry and the buffer memory are owned by the USB
peripheral. The core should not modify the BD or its
corresponding data buffer during this time. Note that
the microcontroller core can still read BDnSTAT while
the SIE owns the buffer and vice versa.
The Buffer Descriptors have a different meaning based
on the source of the register update. Register 18-1 and
Register 18-2 show the differences in BDnSTAT
depending on its current ownership.
When UOWN is set, the user can no longer depend on
the values that were written to the BDs. From this point,
the USB module updates the BDs as necessary, over-
writing the original BD values. The BDnSTAT register is
updated by the SIE with the token PID and the transfer
count is updated.
18.2.2 DMA INTERFACE
The USB OTG module uses a dedicated DMA to
access both the BDT and the endpoint data buffers.
Since part of the address space of the DMA is dedi-
cated to the Buffer Descriptors, a portion of the memory
connected to the DMA must comprise a contiguous
address space properly mapped for the access by the
module.

18.3 USB Interrupts
The USB OTG module has many conditions that can
be configured to cause an interrupt. All interrupt
sources use the same interrupt vector.
Figure 18-9 shows the interrupt logic for the USB
module. There are two layers of interrupt registers in
the USB module. The top level consists of overall USB
status interrupts; these are enabled and flagged in the
U1IE and U1IR registers, respectively. The second
level consists of USB error conditions, which are
enabled and flagged in the U1EIR and U1EIE registers.
An interrupt condition in any of these triggers a USB
Error Interrupt Flag (UERRIF) in the top level.
Interrupts may be used to trap routine events in a USB
transaction. Figure 18-10 provides some common
events within a USB frame and their corresponding
interrupts.

18.3.1 CLEARING USB OTG INTERRUPTS
Unlike device level interrupts, the USB OTG interrupt
status flags are not freely writable in software. All USB
OTG flag bits are implemented as hardware set only
bits. Additionally, these bits can only be cleared in
software by writing a 1 to their locations (i.e., perform-
ing a MOV type instruction). Writing a 0 to a flag bit (i.e.,
a BCLR instruction) has no effect.
FIGURE 18-10: EXAMPLE OF A USB TRANSACTION AND INTERRUPT EVENTS
18.4 Device Mode Operation
The following section describes how to perform a com-
mon Device mode task. In Device mode, USB transfers
are performed at the transfer level. The USB module
automatically performs the status phase of the transfer.
18.4.1 ENABLING DEVICE MODE
1. Reset the Ping-Pong Buffer Pointers by setting,
then clearing, the Ping-Pong Buffer Reset bit,
PPBRST (U1CON<1>).
2. Disable all interrupts (U1IE and U1EIE = 00h).
3. Clear any existing interrupt flags by writing FFh
to U1IR and U1EIR.
4. Verify that VBUS is present (non OTG devices
only).
5. Enable the USB module by setting the USBEN
bit (U1CON<0>).
6. Set the OTGEN bit (U1OTGCON<2>) to enable
OTG operation.
7. Enable the endpoint zero buffer to receive the
first setup packet by setting the EPRXEN and
EPHSHK bits for Endpoint 0 (U1EP0<3,0> = 1).
8. Power up the USB module by setting the
USBPWR bit (U1PWRC<0>).
9. Enable the D+ pull-up resistor to signal an attach
by setting DPPULUP bit (U1OTGCON<7>).
Note: Throughout this data sheet, a bit that can
only be cleared by writing a 1 to its loca-
tion is referred to as Write 1 to clear. In
register descriptions, this function is
indicated by the descriptor, K.

18.4.2 RECEIVING AN IN TOKEN IN
DEVICE MODE
1. Attach to a USB host and enumerate as described
in Chapter 9 of the USB 2.0 Specification.
2. Create a data buffer and populate it with the data
to send to the host.
3. In the appropriate (even or odd) TX BD for the
desired endpoint:
a) Set up the status register (BDnSTAT) with
the correct data toggle (DATA0/1) value and
the byte count of the data buffer.
b) Set up the address register (BDnADR) with
the starting address of the data buffer.
c) Set the UOWN bit of the status register to
1.
4. When the USB module receives an IN token, it
automatically transmits the data in the buffer.
Upon completion, the module updates the status
register (BDnSTAT) and sets the Transfer
Complete Interrupt Flag, TRNIF (U1IR<3>).
18.4.3 RECEIVING AN OUT TOKEN IN
DEVICE MODE
1. Attach to a USB host and enumerate as
described in Chapter 9 of the USB 2.0
Specification.
2. Create a data buffer with the amount of data you
are expecting from the host.
3. In the appropriate (even or odd) TX BD for the
desired endpoint:
a) Set up the status register (BDnSTAT) with
the correct data toggle (DATA0/1) value and
the byte count of the data buffer.
b) Set up the address register (BDnADR) with
the starting address of the data buffer.
c) Set the UOWN bit of the status register to
1.
4. When the USB module receives an OUT token,
it automatically receives the data sent by the
host to the buffer. Upon completion, the module
updates the status register (BDnSTAT) and sets
the Transfer Complete Interrupt Flag, TRNIF
(U1IR<3>).
18.5 Host Mode Operation
The following sections describe how to perform common
Host mode tasks. In Host mode, USB transfers are
invoked explicitly by the host software. The host
software is responsible for the Acknowledge portion of
the transfer. Also, all transfers are performed using the
Endpoint 0 Control register (U1EP0) and Buffer
Descriptors.
18.5.1 ENABLE HOST MODE AND
DISCOVER A CONNECTED DEVICE
1. Enable Host mode by setting the HOSTEN bit
(U1CON<3>). This causes the Host mode con-
trol bits in other USB OTG registers to become
available.
2. Enable the D+ and D- pull-down resistors by set-
ting the DPPULDWN and DMPULDWN bits
(U1OTGCON<5:4>). Disable the D+ and D-
pull-up resistors by clearing the DPPULUP and
DMPULUP bits (U1OTGCON<7:6>).
3. At this point, SOF generation begins with the
SOF counter loaded with 12,000. Eliminate
noise on the USB by clearing the SOFEN bit
(U1CON<0>) to disable Start-Of-Frame packet
generation.
4. Enable the device attached interrupt by setting
the ATTACHIE bit (U1IE<6>).
5. Wait for the device attached interrupt
(U1IR<6> = 1). This is signaled by the USB
device changing the state of D+ or D- from 0
to 1 (SE0 to J state). After it occurs, wait
100 ms for the device power to stabilize.
6. Check the state of the JSTATE and SE0 bits in
U1CON. If the JSTATE bit (U1CON<7>) is 0,
the connecting device is low speed. If the con-
necting device is low speed, set the low
LSPDEN and LSPD bits (U1ADDR<7> and
U1EP0<7>) to enable low-speed operation.
7. Reset the USB device by setting the USBRST
bit (U1CON<4>) for at least 50 ms, sending
Reset signaling on the bus. After 50 ms,
terminate the Reset by clearing USBRST.
8. In order to keep the connected device from
going into suspend, enable the SOF packet
generation by setting the SOFEN bit.
9. Wait 10 ms for the device to recover from Reset.
10. Perform enumeration as described by Chapter 9
of the USB 2.0 Specification.

PIC24FJ256DA210 FAMILY
18.5.2 COMPLETE A CONTROL
TRANSACTION TO A CONNECTED
DEVICE
1. Follow the procedure described in
Section 18.5.1 Enable Host Mode and Dis-
cover a Connected Device to discover a
device.
2. Set up the Endpoint Control register for
bidirectional control transfers by writing 0Dh to
U1EP0 (this sets the EPCONDIS, EPTXEN and
EPHSHK bits).
3. Place a copy of the device framework setup
command in a memory buffer. See Chapter 9 of
the USB 2.0 Specification for information on the
device framework command set.
4. Initialize the Buffer Descriptor (BD) for the
current (even or odd) TX EP0 to transfer the
eight bytes of command data for a device
framework command (i.e., GET DEVICE
DESCRIPTOR):
a) Set the BD data buffer address (BD0ADR)
to the starting address of the 8-byte
memory buffer containing the command.
b) Write 8008h to BD0STAT (this sets the
UOWN bit and sets a byte count of 8).
5. Set the USB device address of the target device
in the address register (U1ADDR<6:0>). After a
USB bus Reset, the device USB address will be
zero. After enumeration, it will be set to another
value between 1 and 127.
6. Write D0h to U1TOK; this is a SETUP token to
Endpoint 0, the target devices default control
pipe. This initiates a SETUP token on the bus,
followed by a data packet. The device hand-
shake is returned in the PID field of BD0STAT
after the packets are complete. When the USB
module updates BD0STAT, a transfer done
interrupt is asserted (the TRNIF flag is set). This
completes the setup phase of the setup transac-
tion as referenced in Chapter 9 of the USB
Specification.
7. To initiate the data phase of the setup transac-
tion (i.e., get the data for the GET DEVICE
DESCRIPTOR command), set up a buffer in
memory to store the received data.
8. Initialize the current (even or odd) RX or TX (RX
for IN, TX for OUT) EP0 BD to transfer the data.
a) Write C040h to BD0STAT. This sets the
UOWN, configures Data Toggle (DTS) to
DATA1 and sets the byte count to the length
of the data buffer (64 or 40h in this case).
b) Set BD0ADR to the starting address of the
data buffer.
9. Write the Token register with the appropriate IN
or OUT token to Endpoint 0, the target devices
default control pipe (e.g., write 90h to U1TOK for
an IN token for a GET DEVICE DESCRIPTOR
command). This initiates an IN token on the bus
followed by a data packet from the device to the
host. When the data packet completes, the
BD0STAT is written and a transfer done interrupt
is asserted (the TRNIF flag is set). For control
transfers with a single packet data phase, this
completes the data phase of the setup transac-
tion as referenced in Chapter 9 of the USB
Specification. If more data needs to be
transferred, return to step 8.
10. To initiate the status phase of the setup transac-
tion, set up a buffer in memory to receive or send
the zero length status phase data packet.
11. Initialize the current (even or odd) TX EP0 BD to
transfer the status data:
a) Set the BDT buffer address field to the start
address of the data buffer.
b) Write 8000h to BD0STAT (set UOWN bit,
configure DTS to DATA0 and set byte count
to 0).
12. Write the Token register with the appropriate IN
or OUT token to Endpoint 0, the target devices
default control pipe (e.g., write 01h to U1TOK for
an OUT token for a GET DEVICE DESCRIPTOR
command). This initiates an OUT token on the
bus followed by a zero length data packet from
the host to the device. When the data packet
completes, the BD is updated with the
handshake from the device and a transfer done
interrupt is asserted (the TRNIF flag is set). This
completes the status phase of the setup trans-
action as described in Chapter 9 of the USB
Specification.
Note: Only one control transaction can be
performed per frame.

18.5.3 SEND A FULL-SPEED BULK DATA
TRANSFER TO A TARGET DEVICE
1. Follow the procedure described in Section 18.5.1
Enable Host Mode and Discover a Connected
Device and Section 18.5.2 Complete a Con-
trol Transaction to a Connected Device to
discover and configure a device.
2. To enable transmit and receive transfers with
handshaking enabled, write 1Dh to U1EP0. If
the target device is a low-speed device, also set
the LSPD (U1EP0<7>) bit. If you want the hard-
ware to automatically retry indefinitely if the
target device asserts a NAK on the transfer,
clear the Retry Disable bit, RETRYDIS
(U1EP0<6>).
3. Set up the BD for the current (even or odd) TX
EP0 to transfer up to 64 bytes.
4. Set the USB device address of the target device
in the address register (U1ADDR<6:0>).
5. Write an OUT token to the desired endpoint to
U1TOK. This triggers the modules transmit
state machines to begin transmitting the token
and the data.
6. Wait for the Transfer Done Interrupt Flag,
TRNIF. This indicates that the BD has been
released back to the microprocessor and the
transfer has completed. If the retry disable bit is
set, the handshake (ACK, NAK, STALL or
ERROR (0Fh)) is returned in the BD PID field. If
a STALL interrupt occurs, the pending packet
must be dequeued and the error condition in the
target device cleared. If a detach interrupt
occurs (SE0 for more than 2.5 s), then the
target has detached (U1IR<0> is set).
7. Once the transfer done interrupt occurs (TRNIF
is set), the BD can be examined and the next
data packet queued by returning to step 2.
18.6 OTG Operation
18.6.1 SESSION REQUEST PROTOCOL
(SRP)
An OTG A-device may decide to power down the VBUS
supply when it is not using the USB link through the Ses-
sion Request Protocol (SRP). Software may do this by
clearing VBUSON (U1OTGCON<3>). When the VBUS
supply is powered down, the A-device is said to have
ended a USB session.
An OTG A-device or embedded host may repower the
VBUS supply at any time (initiate a new session). An
OTG B-device may also request that the OTG A-device
repower the VBUS supply (initiate a new session). This
is accomplished via Session Request Protocol (SRP).
Prior to requesting a new session, the B-device must
first check that the previous session has definitely
ended. To do this, the B-device must check for two
conditions:
1. VBUS supply is below the session valid voltage, and
2. Both D+ and D- have been low for at least 2 ms.
The B-device will be notified of Condition 1 by the
SESENDIF (U1OTGIR<2>) interrupt. Software will
have to manually check for Condition 2.
The B-device may aid in achieving Condition 1 by dis-
charging the VBUS supply through a resistor. Software
may do this by setting VBUSDIS (U1OTGCON<0>).
After these initial conditions are met, the B-device may
begin requesting the new session. The B-device begins
by pulsing the D+ data line. Software should do this by
setting DPPULUP (U1OTGCON<7>). The data line
should be held high for 5 to 10 ms.
The B-device then proceeds by pulsing the VBUS
supply. Software should do this by setting PUVBUS
(U1CNFG2<4>). When an A-device detects SRP sig-
naling (either via the ATTACHIF (U1IR<6>) interrupt or
via the SESVDIF (U1OTGIR<3>) interrupt), the
A-device must restore the VBUS supply by either setting
VBUSON (U1OTGCON<3>) or by setting the I/O port
controlling the external power source.
The B-device should not monitor the state of the VBUS
supply while performing VBUS supply pulsing. When the
B-device does detect that the VBUS supply has been
restored (via the SESVDIF (U1OTGIR<3>) interrupt),
the B-device must reconnect to the USB link by pulling
up D+ or D- (via the DPPULUP or DMPULUP).
The A-device must complete the SRP by driving USB
Reset signaling.
Note: USB speed, transceiver and pull-ups
should only be configured during the mod-
ule setup phase. It is not recommended to
change these settings while the module is
enabled.
Note: When the A-device powers down the VBUS
supply, the B-device must disconnect its
pull-up resistor from power. If the device is
self-powered, it can do this by clearing
DPPULUP (U1OTGCON<7>) and
DMPULUP (U1OTGCON<6>).

PIC24FJ256DA210 FAMILY
18.6.2 HOST NEGOTIATION PROTOCOL
(HNP)
In USB OTG applications, a Dual Role Device (DRD) is
a device that is capable of being either a host or a
peripheral. Any OTG DRD must support Host
Negotiation Protocol (HNP).
HNP allows an OTG B-device to temporarily become
the USB host. The A-device must first enable the
B-device to follow HNP. Refer to the On-The-Go
Supplement to the USB 2.0 Specification for more
information regarding HNP. HNP may only be initiated
at full speed.
After being enabled for HNP by the A-device, the
B-device requests being the host any time that the USB
link is in suspend state, by simply indicating a discon-
nect. This can be done in software by clearing
DPPULUP and DMPULUP. When the A-device detects
the disconnect condition (via the URSTIF (U1IR<0>)
interrupt), the A-device may allow the B-device to take
over as host. The A-device does this by signaling con-
nect as a full-speed function. Software may accomplish
this by setting DPPULUP.
If the A-device responds instead with resume signaling,
the A-device remains as host. When the B-device
detects the connect condition (via ATTACHIF
(U1IR<6>), the B-device becomes host. The B-device
drives Reset signaling prior to using the bus.
When the B-device has finished in its role as host, it
stops all bus activity and turns on its D+ pull-up resistor
by setting DPPULUP. When the A-device detects a
suspend condition (Idle for 3 ms), the A-device turns off
its D+ pull-up. The A-device may also power-down the
VBUS supply to end the session. When the A-device
detects the connect condition (via ATTACHIF), the
A-device resumes host operation and drives Reset
signaling.
18.6.3 EXTERNAL VBUS COMPARATORS
The external VBUS comparator option is enabled by set-
ting the UVCMPDIS bit (U1CNFG2<1>). This disables
the internal VBUS comparators, removing the need to
attach VBUS to the microcontrollers VBUS pin.
The external comparator interface uses either the
VCMPST1 and VCMPST2 pins, or the VBUSVLD,
SESSVLD and SESSEND pins, based upon the setting
of the UVCMPSEL bit (U1CNFG2<5>). These pins are
digital inputs and should be set in the following patterns
(see Table 18-3), based on the current level of the VBUS
voltage.

18.7 USB OTG Module Registers
There are a total of 37 memory mapped registers asso-
ciated with the USB OTG module. They can be divided
into four general categories:
USB OTG Module Control (12)
USB Interrupt (7)
USB Endpoint Management (16)
USB VBUS Power Control (2)
This total does not include the (up to) 128 BD registers
in the BDT. Their prototypes, described in
Register 18-1 and Register 18-2, are shown separately
in Section 18.2 USB Buffer Descriptors and the
BDT.
With the exception of U1PWMCON and U1PWMRRS,
all USB OTG registers are implemented in the Least
Significant Byte of the register. Bits in the upper byte
are unimplemented and have no function. Note that
some registers are instantiated only in Host mode,
while other registers have different bit instantiations
and functions in Device and Host modes.
The registers described in the following sections are
those that have bits with specific control and configura-
tion features. The following registers are used for data
or address values only:
U1BDTP1: Specifies the 256-word page in data
RAM used for the BDT; 8-bit value with bit 0 fixed
as 0 for boundary alignment.
U1FRML and U1FRMH: Contains the 11-bit byte
counter for the current data frame.
U1PWMRRS: Contains the 8-bit value for PWM
duty cycle bits<15:8> and PWM period
bits<7:0> for the VBUS boost assist PWM module.

19.0 ENHANCED PARALLEL
MASTER PORT (EPMP)
The Enhanced Parallel Master Port (EPMP) module is
present in PIC24FJXXXDAX10 devices and not in
PIC24FJXXXDAX06 devices. The EPMP provides a
parallel 4-bit (Master mode only), 8-bit (Master and
Slave modes) or 16-bit (Master mode only) data bus
interface to communicate with off-chip modules, such
as memories, FIFOs, LCD controllers and other micro-
controllers. This module can serve as either the master
or the slave on the communication bus. For EPMP
Master modes, all external addresses are mapped into
the internal Extended Data Space (EDS). This is done
by allocating a region of the EDS for each chip select,
and then assigning each chip select to a particular
external resource, such as a memory or external con-
troller. This region should not be assigned to another
device resource, such as RAM or SFRs. To perform a
write or read on an external resource, the CPU should
simply perform a write or read within the address range
assigned for EPMP.
The EPMP has an alternative master feature. The
graphics controller module can control the EPMP
directly in Alternate Master mode to access an external
graphics buffer.
Key features of the EPMP module are:
Extended Data Space (EDS) interface allows
Direct Access from the CPU
Up to 23 Programmable Address Lines
Up to 2 Chip Select Lines
Up to 2 Acknowledgement Lines (one per chip
select)
4-bit, 8-bit or 16-bit wide Data Bus
Programmable Strobe Options (per chip select)
- Individual Read and Write Strobes or;
- Read/Write Strobe with Enable Strobe
Programmable Address/Data Multiplexing
Programmable Address Wait States
Programmable Data Wait States (per chip select)
Programmable Polarity on Control Signals (per
chip select)
Legacy Parallel Slave Port Support
Enhanced Parallel Slave Support
- Address Support
- 4-Byte Deep Auto-Incrementing Buffer
Alternate Master feature
19.1 ALTPMP Setting
Many of the lower order EPMP address pins are shared
with ADC inputs. This is an untenable situation for
users that need both the ADC channels and the EPMP
bus. If the user does not need to use all the address
bits, then by clearing the ALTPMP (CW3<12>) Config-
uration bit, the lower order address bits can be mapped
to higher address pins, which frees the ADC channels.
Note: This data sheet summarizes the features
of this group of PIC24F devices. It is not
intended to be a comprehensive reference
source. For more information, refer to the
PIC24F Family Reference Manual,
Section 42. Enhanced Parallel Master
Port (EPMP) (DS39730). The informa-
tion in this data sheet supersedes the
information in the FRM.
Note: The EPMP module is not present in 64-pin
devices (PIC24FJXXXDAX06).

20.1 RTCC Module Registers
The RTCC module registers are organized into three
categories:
RTCC Control Registers
RTCC Value Registers
Alarm Value Registers
20.1.1 REGISTER MAPPING
To limit the register interface, the RTCC Timer and
Alarm Time registers are accessed through the corre-
sponding register pointers. The RTCC Value register
window (RTCVALH and RTCVALL) uses the RTCPTR
bits (RCFGCAL<9:8>) to select the desired Timer
register pair (see Table 20-1).
By writing the RTCVALH byte, the RTCC Pointer value,
RTCPTR<1:0> bits, decrement by one until they reach
00. Once they reach 00, the MINUTES and
SECONDS value will be accessible through RTCVALH
and RTCVALL until the pointer value is manually
changed.
TABLE 20-1: RTCVAL REGISTER MAPPING
The Alarm Value register window (ALRMVALH and
ALRMVALL) uses the ALRMPTR bits
(ALCFGRPT<9:8>) to select the desired Alarm register
pair (see Table 20-2).
By writing the ALRMVALH byte, the Alarm Pointer
value bits, ALRMPTR<1:0>, decrement by one until
they reach 00. Once they reach 00, the ALRMMIN
and ALRMSEC value will be accessible through
ALRMVALH and ALRMVALL until the pointer value is
manually changed.
TABLE 20-2: ALRMVAL REGISTER
MAPPING
Considering that the 16-bit core does not distinguish
between 8-bit and 16-bit read operations, the user must
be aware that when reading either the ALRMVALH or
ALRMVALL bytes, they will decrement the
ALRMPTR<1:0> value. The same applies to the
RTCVALH or RTCVALL bytes with the RTCPTR<1:0>
being decremented.
20.1.2 WRITE LOCK
In order to perform a write to any of the RTCC Timer
registers, the RTCWREN (RCFGCAL<13>) bit must be
set (refer to Example 20-1).

Note: This only applies to read operations and
not write operations.
Note: To avoid accidental writes to the timer, it is
recommended that the RTCWREN bit
(RCFGCAL<13>) is kept clear at any
other time. For the RTCWREN bit to be
set, there is only 1 instruction cycle time
window allowed between the unlock
sequence and the setting of RTCWREN;
therefore, it is recommended that code
follow the procedure in Example 20-1.
For applications written in C, the unlock
sequence should be implemented using
in-line assembly.
asm volatile("disi #5");
asm volatile("mov #0x55, w7");
asm volatile("mov w7, _NVMKEY");
asm volatile("mov #0xAA, w8");
asm volatile("mov w8, _NVMKEY");
asm volatile("bset _RCFGCAL, #13"); //set the RTCWREN bit

20.2 Calibration
The real-time crystal input can be calibrated using the
periodic auto-adjust feature. When properly calibrated,
the RTCC can provide an error of less than 3 seconds
per month. This is accomplished by finding the number
of error clock pulses for one minute and storing the
value into the lower half of the RCFGCAL register. The
8-bit signed value loaded into the lower half of
RCFGCAL is multiplied by four and will either be added
or subtracted from the RTCC timer, once every minute.
Refer to the following steps for RTCC calibration:
1. Using another timer resource on the device, the
user must find the error of the 32.768 kHz
crystal.
2. Once the error is known, it must be converted to
the number of error clock pulses per minute and
loaded into the RCFGCAL register.
EQUATION 20-1: RTCC CALIBRATION
3. a) If the oscillator is faster then ideal (negative
result form Step 2), the RCFGCAL register value
needs to be negative. This causes the specified
number of clock pulses to be subtracted from
the timer counter, once every minute.
b) If the oscillator is slower then ideal (positive
result from Step 2), the RCFGCAL register value
needs to be positive. This causes the specified
number of clock pulses to be added to the timer
counter, once every minute.
4. Divide the number of error clocks per minute by
4 to get the correct CAL value and load the
RCFGCAL register with the correct value.
(Each 1-bit increment in CAL adds or subtracts
4 pulses).
Writes to the lower half of the RCFGCAL register
should only occur when the timer is turned off or
immediately after the rising edge of the seconds pulse.
20.3 Alarm
Configurable from half second to one year
Enabled using the ALRMEN bit
(ALCFGRPT<15>, Register 20-3)
One-time alarm and repeat alarm options
available
20.3.1 CONFIGURING THE ALARM
The alarm feature is enabled using the ALRMEN bit.
This bit is cleared when an alarm is issued. Writes to
ALRMVAL should only take place when ALRMEN = 0.
As shown in Figure 20-2, the interval selection of the
alarm is configured through the AMASK bits
(ALCFGRPT<13:10>). These bits determine which and
how many digits of the alarm must match the clock
value for the alarm to occur.
The alarm can also be configured to repeat based on a
preconfigured interval. The amount of times this
occurs, once the alarm is enabled, is stored in the
ARPT bits, ARPT<7:0> (ALCFGRPT<7:0>). When the
value of the ARPT bits equals 00h and the CHIME bit
(ALCFGRPT<14>) is cleared, the repeat function is
disabled and only a single alarm will occur. The alarm
can be repeated up to 255 times by loading
ARPT<7:0> with FFh.
After each alarm is issued, the value of the ARPT bits
is decremented by one. Once the value has reached
00h, the alarm will be issued one last time, after which
the ALRMEN bit will be cleared automatically and the
alarm will turn off.
Indefinite repetition of the alarm can occur if the CHIME
bit = 1. Instead of the alarm being disabled when the
value of the ARPT bits reaches 00h, it rolls over to FFh
and continues counting indefinitely while CHIME is set.
20.3.2 ALARM INTERRUPT
At every alarm event, an interrupt is generated. In addi-
tion, an alarm pulse output is provided that operates at
half the frequency of the alarm. This output is
completely synchronous to the RTCC clock and can be
used as a trigger clock to other peripherals.
Note: It is up to the user to include in the error
value the initial error of the crystal, drift
due to temperature and drift due to crystal
aging.
Error (clocks per minute) = (Ideal Frequency
Measured Frequency) x 60
Ideal Frequency = 32,768H
Note: Changing any of the registers, other then
the RCFGCAL and ALCFGRPT registers
and the CHIME bit while the alarm is
enabled (ALRMEN = 1), can result in a
false alarm event leading to a false alarm
interrupt. To avoid a false alarm event, the
timer and alarm values should only be
changed while the alarm is disabled
(ALRMEN = 0). It is recommended that the
ALCFGRPT register and CHIME bit be
changed when RTCSYNC = 0.

21.1 User Interface
21.1.1 POLYNOMIAL INTERFACE
The CRC module can be programmed for CRC
polynomials of up of up the 32
nd
order, using up to 32 bits.
Polynomial length, which reflects the highest exponent
in the equation, is selected by the PLEN<4:0> bits
(CRCCON2<4:0>).
The CRCXORL and CRCXORH registers control which
exponent terms are included in the equation. Setting a
particular bit includes that exponent term in the equa-
tion; functionally, this includes an XOR operation on the
corresponding bit in the CRC engine. Clearing the bit
disables the XOR.
For example, consider two CRC polynomials, one a
16-bit and the other a 32-bit equation.
EQUATION 21-1: 16-BIT, 32-BIT CRC
POLYNOMIALS
To program these polynomial into the CRC generator,
set the register bits as shown in Table 21-1.
Note that the appropriate positions are set to 1 to indi-
cate they are used in the equation (for example, X26
and X23). The 0 bit required by the equation is always
XORed; thus, X0 is a dont care. For a polynomial of
length 32, it is assumed that the 32
nd
bit will be used.
Therefore, the X<31:1> bits do not have the 32
nd
bit.
21.1.2 DATA INTERFACE
The module incorporates a FIFO that works with a vari-
able data width. Input data width can be configured to
any value between one and 32 bits using the
DWIDTH<4:0> bits (CRCCON2<12:8>). When the
data width is greater than 15, the FIFO is four words
deep. When the DWITDH bits are between 15 and 8,
the FIFO is 8 words deep. When the DWIDTH bits are
less than 8, the FIFO is 16 words deep.
The data for which the CRC is to be calculated must
first be written into the FIFO. Even if the data width is
less than 8, the smallest data element that can be writ-
ten into the FIFO is one byte. For example, if DWIDTH
is five, then the size of the data is DWIDTH + 1 or six.
The data is written as a whole byte; the two unused
upper bits are ignored by the module.
Once data is written into the MSb of the CRCDAT reg-
isters (that is, MSb as defined by the data width), the
value of the VWORD<4:0> bits (CRCCON1<12:8>)
increments by one. For example, if DWIDTH is 24, the
VWORD bits will increment when bit 7 of CRCDATH is
written. Therefore, CRCDATL must always be written
to before CRCDATH.
The CRC engine starts shifting data when the CRCGO
bit is set and the value of VWORD is greater than zero.
Each word is copied out of the FIFO into a buffer regis-
ter, which decrements VWORD. The data is then
shifted out of the buffer. The CRC engine continues
shifting at a rate of two bits per instruction cycle, until
VWORD reaches zero. This means that for a given
data width, it takes half that number of instructions for
each word to complete the calculation. For example, it
takes 16 cycles to calculate the CRC for a single word
of 32-bit data.
When VWORD reaches the maximum value for the
configured value of DWIDTH (4, 8 or 16), the CRCFUL
bit becomes set. When VWORD reaches zero, the
CRCMPT bit becomes set. The FIFO is emptied and
the VWORD<4:0> bits are set to 00000 whenever
CRCEN is 0.
At least one instruction cycle must pass after a write to
CRCWDAT before a read of the VWORD bits is done.

PIC24FJ256DA210 FAMILY
21.1.3 DATA SHIFT DIRECTION
The LENDIAN bit (CRCCON1<3>) is used to control
the shift direction. By default, the CRC will shift data
through the engine, MSb first. Setting LENDIAN (= 1)
causes the CRC to shift data, LSb first. This setting
allows better integration with various communication
schemes and removes the overhead of reversing the
bit order in software. Note that this only changes the
direction the data is shifted into the engine. The result
of the CRC calculation will still be a normal CRC result,
not a reverse CRC result.
21.1.4 INTERRUPT OPERATION
The module generates an interrupt that is configurable
by the user for either of two conditions.
If CRCISEL is 0, an interrupt is generated when the
VWORD<4:0> bits make a transition from a value of 1
to 0. If CRCISEL is 1, an interrupt will be generated
after the CRC operation finishes and the module sets
the CRCGO bit to 0. Manually setting CRCGO to 0
will not generate an interrupt. Note that when an
interrupt occurs, the CRC calculation would not yet be
complete. The module will still need (PLEN + 1)/2 clock
cycles after the interrupt is generated until the CRC
calculation is finished.
21.1.5 TYPICAL OPERATION
To use the module for a typical CRC calculation:
1. Set the CRCEN bit to enable the module.
2. Configure the module for desired operation:
a) Program the desired polynomial using the
CRCXORL and CRCXORH registers, and the
PLEN<4:0> bits.
b) Configure the data width and shift direction
using the DWIDTH and LENDIAN bits.
c) Select the desired interrupt mode using the
CRCISEL bit.
3. Preload the FIFO by writing to the CRCDATL
and CRCDATH registers until the CRCFUL bit is
set or no data is left.
4. Clear old results by writing 00h to CRCWDATL
and CRCWDATH. The CRCWDAT registers can
also be left unchanged to resume a previously
halted calculation.
5. Set the CRCGO bit to start calculation.
6. Write remaining data into the FIFO as space
becomes available.
7. When the calculation completes, CRCGO is
automatically cleared. An interrupt will be
generated if CRCISEL = 1.
8. Read CRCWDATL and CRCWDATH for the
result of the calculation.
There are eight registers used to control programmable
CRC operation:
CRCCON1
CRCCON2
CRCXORL
CRCXORH
CRCDATL
CRCDATH
CRCWDATL
CRCWDATH
The CRCCON1 and CRCCON2 registers
(Register 21-1 and Register 21-2) control the operation
of the module and configure the various settings.
The CRCXOR registers (Register 21-3 and
Register 21-4) select the polynomial terms to be used
in the CRC equation. The CRCDAT and CRCWDAT
registers are each register pairs that serve as buffers
for the double-word input data, and CRC processed
output, respectively.

22.0 GRAPHICS CONTROLLER
MODULE (GFX)
The Graphics Controller (GFX) module is specifically
designed to directly interface with the display glasses,
with a built-in analog drive, to individually control pixels
in the screen. The module also provides an accelerated
rendering of vertical and horizontal lines, rectangles,
copying of rectangular area between different locations
on the screen, drawing texts and decompressing
packed data. The use of the accelerated rendering is
performed using command registers. Once initiated,
the hardware will perform the rendering, and the
software can either poll the status, or use the interrupts
to continue rendering of the succeeding shapes.
Key features of the GFX module include:
Direct interface to three categories of display
glasses:
- Monochrome STN
- Color STN
- Color TFT
Programmable vertical and horizontal synchroni-
zation signals timing and display clock frequency
to meet displays frame rates
Optional internal or external display buffer to
accommodate different types of display resolution
Graphic hardware accelerators:
- Character Graphics Processing Unit
(CHRGPU)
- Rectangle Copy Graphics Processing Unit
(RCCGPU)
- Inflate Processing Unit (IPU)
256 Entries Color Look-up Table (CLUT)
Supports 1/2/4/8/16 bits-per-pixel (bpp) color depth
Programmable display resolution
Supports multiple display interfaces:
- 4/8/16-bit Monochrome STN
- 4/8/16-bit Color STN
- 9/12/18/24-bit color TFT (18 and 24-bit
displays are connected as 16-bit 5-6-5 RGB
color format)

22.2 Display Resolution and Memory
Requirements
The PIC24FJ256DA210 family of devices has two vari-
ants in terms of on-board RAM (24-Kbyte and 96-Kbyte
variants). The 24-Kbyte variant supports monochrome
displays while the 96-Kbyte variant supports Quarter
VGA (QVGA) color displays, up to 256 colors. Support of
higher resolution displays with higher color depth
requirements are available by extending the data space
through external memory. Table 22-1 provides the sum-
mary of image buffer memory requirements of different
display resolutions and color depth requirements.
22.3 Display Clock (GCLK) Source
Frequency of the Graphics Controller Display Clock
(GCLK) signal is determined by programming the
GCLKDIV bits (CLKDIV2<15:9>). For more informa-
tion, refer to the PIC24F Family Reference Manual,
Section 6. Oscillator (DS39700).
22.4 Display Buffer and Work Areas
Memory Locations
The PIC24FJ256DA210 family of devices has variants
with two on-board RAM sizes. These are the 24-Kbyte
and 96-Kbyte variants. These two RAM variants are
further divided in terms of pin counts. The 100-pin
count device will have the EPMP module available for
extending RAM for applications. The 64-pin count
device will not have the EPMP modules. Extending the
RAM size is necessary for applications that require
larger display buffers and work areas. It is recom-
mended that the display buffers and work areas are not
mapped into an area that overlaps the internal RAM
and the external RAM. The external RAM can be
interfaced using the EPMP module. For details, refer to
the PIC24F Family Reference Manual, Section 42.
Enhanced Parallel Master Port (EPMP)
(DS39730).

23.0 10-BIT HIGH-SPEED A/D
CONVERTER
The 10-bit A/D Converter has the following key
features:
Successive Approximation (SAR) conversion
Conversion speeds of up to 500 ksps
24 analog input pins (PIC24FJXXXDAX10
devices) and 16 analog input pins
(PIC24FJXXXDAX06 devices)
External voltage reference input pins
Internal band gap reference inputs
Automatic Channel Scan mode
Selectable conversion trigger source
32-word conversion result buffer
Selectable Buffer Fill modes
Four result alignment options
Operation during CPU Sleep and Idle modes
On all PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices, the 10-bit
A/D Converter has 24 analog input pins, designated
AN0 through AN23. In addition, there are two analog
input pins for external voltage reference connections
(VREF+ and VREF-). These voltage reference inputs
may be shared with other analog input pins.
A block diagram of the A/D Converter is shown in
Figure 23-1.
To perform an A/D conversion:
1. Configure the A/D module:
a) Configure the port pins as analog inputs
and/or select band gap reference inputs
(ANCFG registers).
b) Select the voltage reference source to
match the expected range on analog inputs
(AD1CON2<15:13>).
c) Select the analog conversion clock to
match the desired data rate with the
processor clock (AD1CON3<7:0>).
d) Select the appropriate sample/conversion
sequence (AD1CON1<7:5> and
AD1CON3<12:8>).
e) Select how the conversion results are
presented in the buffer (AD1CON1<9:8>).
f) Select the interrupt rate (AD1CON2<6:2>).
g) Turn on the A/D module (AD1CON1<15>).
2. Configure the A/D interrupt (if required):
a) Clear the AD1IF bit.
b) Select the A/D interrupt priority.

24.0 TRIPLE COMPARATOR
MODULE
The triple comparator module provides three dual input
comparators. The inputs to the comparator can be
configured to use any one of five external analog inputs
(CxINA, CxINB, CxINC, CxIND and VREF+) and a
voltage reference input from one of the internal band
gap references or the comparator voltage reference
generator (VBG, VBG/2, VBG/6 and CVREF).
The comparator outputs may be directly connected to
the CxOUT pins. When the respective COE equals 1,
the I/O pad logic makes the unsynchronized output of
the comparator available on the pin.
A simplified block diagram of the module in shown in
Figure 24-1. Diagrams of the possible individual
comparator configurations are shown in Figure 24-2.
Each comparator has its own control register,
CMxCON (Register 24-1), for enabling and configuring
its operation. The output and event status of all three
comparators is provided in the CMSTAT register
(Register 24-2).

25.0 COMPARATOR VOLTAGE
REFERENCE
25.1 Configuring the Comparator
Voltage Reference
The voltage reference module is controlled through the
CVRCON register (Register 25-1). The comparator
voltage reference provides two ranges of output
voltage, each with 16 distinct levels. The range to be
used is selected by the CVRR bit (CVRCON<5>). The
primary difference between the ranges is the size of the
steps selected by the CVREF Selection bits
(CVR<3:0>), with one range offering finer resolution.
The comparator reference supply voltage can come
from either VDD and VSS, or the external VREF+ and
VREF-. The voltage source is selected by the CVRSS
bit (CVRCON<4>).
The settling time of the comparator voltage reference
must be considered when changing the CVREF
output.

26.0 CHARGE TIME
MEASUREMENT UNIT (CTMU)
The Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU) is a flex-
ible analog module that provides accurate differential
time measurement between pulse sources, as well as
asynchronous pulse generation. Its key features
include:
Four edge input trigger sources
Polarity control for each edge source
Control of edge sequence
Control of response to edges
Time measurement resolution of 1 nanosecond
Accurate current source suitable for capacitive
measurement
Together with other on-chip analog modules, the CTMU
can be used to precisely measure time, measure
capacitance, measure relative changes in capacitance
or generate output pulses that are independent of the
system clock. The CTMU module is ideal for interfacing
with capacitive-based sensors.
The CTMU is controlled through two registers:
CTMUCON and CTMUICON. CTMUCON enables the
module, and controls edge source selection, edge
source polarity selection, and edge sequencing. The
CTMUICON register controls the selection and trim of
the current source.
26.1 Measuring Capacitance
The CTMU module measures capacitance by generat-
ing an output pulse with a width equal to the time
between edge events on two separate input channels.
The pulse edge events to both input channels can be
selected from four sources: two internal peripheral
modules (OC1 and Timer1) and two external pins
(CTEDG1 and CTEDG2). This pulse is used with the
modules precision current source to calculate
capacitance according to the relationship:
For capacitance measurements, the A/D Converter
samples an external capacitor (CAPP) on one of its
input channels after the CTMU outputs pulse. A preci-
sion resistor (RPR) provides current source calibration
on a second A/D channel. After the pulse ends, the
converter determines the voltage on the capacitor. The
actual calculation of capacitance is performed in
software by the application.
Figure 26-1 shows the external connections used for
capacitance measurements, and how the CTMU and
A/D modules are related in this application. This
example also shows the edge events coming from
Timer1, but other configurations using external edge
sources are possible. A detailed discussion on measur-

26.2 Measuring Time
Time measurements on the pulse width can be similarly
performed using the A/D modules internal capacitor
(CAD) and a precision resistor for current calibration.
Figure 26-2 shows the external connections used for
time measurements, and how the CTMU and A/D
modules are related in this application. This example
also shows both edge events coming from the external
CTEDG pins, but other configurations using internal
edge sources are possible. A detailed discussion on
measuring capacitance and time with the CTMU module
is provided in the PIC24F Family Reference Manual.
26.3 Pulse Generation and Delay
The CTMU module can also generate an output pulse
with edges that are not synchronous with the devices
system clock. More specifically, it can generate a pulse
with a programmable delay from an edge event input to
the module.
When the module is configured for pulse generation
delay by setting the TGEN (CTMUCON<12>) bit, the
internal current source is connected to the B input of
Comparator 2. A capacitor (CDELAY) is connected to
the Comparator 2 pin, C2INB, and the comparator volt-
age reference, CVREF, is connected to C2INA. CVREF
is then configured for a specific trip point. The module
begins to charge CDELAY when an edge event is
detected. When CDELAY charges above the CVREF trip
point, a pulse is output on CTPLS. The length of the
pulse delay is determined by the value of CDELAY and
the CVREF trip point.
Figure 26-3 shows the external connections for pulse
generation, as well as the relationship of the different
analog modules required. While CTEDG1 is shown as
the input pulse source, other options are available. A
detailed discussion on pulse generation with the CTMU
module is provided in the PIC24F Family Reference
Manual.

27.0 SPECIAL FEATURES
PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices include several
features intended to maximize application flexibility and
reliability, and minimize cost through elimination of
external components. These are:
Flexible Configuration
Watchdog Timer (WDT)
Code Protection
JTAG Boundary Scan Interface
In-Circuit Serial Programming
In-Circuit Emulation
27.1 Configuration Bits
The Configuration bits can be programmed (read as 0),
or left unprogrammed (read as 1), to select various
device configurations. These bits are mapped starting at
program memory location F80000h. A detailed explana-
tion of the various bit functions is provided in
Register 27-1 through Register 27-6.
Note that address F80000h is beyond the user program
memory space. In fact, it belongs to the configuration
memory space (800000h-FFFFFFh) which can only be
accessed using table reads and table writes.
27.1.1 CONSIDERATIONS FOR
CONFIGURING PIC24FJ256DA210
FAMILY DEVICES
In PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices, the configuration
bytes are implemented as volatile memory. This means
that configuration data must be programmed each time
the device is powered up. Configuration data is stored
in the three words at the top of the on-chip program
memory space, known as the Flash Configuration
Words. Their specific locations are shown in
Table 27-1. These are packed representations of the
actual device Configuration bits, whose actual
locations are distributed among several locations in
configuration space. The configuration data is automat-
ically loaded from the Flash Configuration Words to the
proper Configuration registers during device Resets.
When creating applications for these devices, users
should always specifically allocate the location of the
Flash Configuration Word for configuration data. This is
to make certain that program code is not stored in this
address when the code is compiled.
The upper byte of all Flash Configuration Words in pro-
gram memory should always be 0000 0000. This
makes them appear to be NOP instructions in the
remote event that their locations are ever executed by
accident. Since Configuration bits are not implemented
in the corresponding locations, writing 0s to these
locations has no effect on device operation.

Note: Configuration data is reloaded on all types
of device Resets.
Note: Performing a page erase operation on the
last page of program memory clears the
Flash Configuration Words, enabling code
protection as a result. Therefore, users
should avoid performing page erase
operations on the last page of program
memory.

27.2 On-Chip Voltage Regulator
All PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices power their core
digital logic at a nominal 1.8V. This may create an issue
for designs that are required to operate at a higher
typical voltage, such as 3.3V. To simplify system
design, all devices in the PIC24FJ256DA210 family
incorporate an on-chip regulator that allows the device
to run its core logic from VDD.
The regulator is controlled by the ENVREG pin. Tying VDD
to the pin enables the regulator, which in turn, provides
power to the core from the other VDD pins. When the reg-
ulator is enabled, a low-ESR capacitor (such as ceramic)
must be connected to the VCAP pin (Figure 27-1). This
helps to maintain the stability of the regulator. The recom-
mended value for the filter capacitor (CEFC) is provided in
Section 30.1 DC Characteristics.
27.2.1 VOLTAGE REGULATOR
LOW-VOLTAGE DETECTION
When the on-chip regulator is enabled, it provides a
constant voltage of 1.8V nominal to the digital core
logic.
The regulator can provide this level from a VDD of about
2.1V, all the way up to the devices VDDMAX. It does not
have the capability to boost VDD levels. In order to pre-
vent brown-out conditions when the voltage drops too
low for the regulator, the Brown-out Reset occurs. Then
the regulator output follows VDD with a typical voltage
drop of 300 mV.
To provide information about when the regulator
voltage starts reducing, the on-chip regulator includes
a simple Low-Voltage Detect circuit, which sets the
Low-Voltage Detect Interrupt Flag, LVDIF (IFS4<8>).
This can be used to generate an interrupt to trigger an
orderly shutdown.
FIGURE 27-1: CONNECTIONS FOR THE
ON-CHIP REGULATOR
27.2.2 ON-CHIP REGULATOR AND POR
When the voltage regulator is enabled, it takes approx-
imately 10 s for it to generate output. During this time,
designated as TVREG, code execution is disabled.
TVREG is applied every time the device resumes
operation after any power-down, including Sleep mode.
TVREG is determined by the status of the VREGS bit
(RCON<8>) and the WUTSEL Configuration bits
(CW3<11:10>). Refer to Section 30.0 Electrical
Characteristics for more information on TVREG.

27.2.3 ON-CHIP REGULATOR AND BOR
When the on-chip regulator is enabled,
PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices also have a simple
brown-out capability. If the voltage supplied to the reg-
ulator is inadequate to maintain the output level, the
regulator Reset circuitry will generate a Brown-out
Reset. This event is captured by the BOR (RCON<1>)
flag bit. The brown-out voltage specifications are
provided in Section 7. Reset (DS39712) in the
PIC24F Family Reference Manual.
27.2.4 VOLTAGE REGULATOR STANDBY
MODE
When enabled, the on-chip regulator always consumes
a small incremental amount of current over IDD/IPD,
including when the device is in Sleep mode, even
though the core digital logic does not require power. To
provide additional savings in applications where power
resources are critical, the regulator can be made to
enter Standby mode on its own whenever the device
goes into Sleep mode. This feature is controlled by the
VREGS bit (RCON<8>). Clearing the VREGS bit
enables the Standby mode. When waking up from
Standby mode, the regulator needs to wait for TVREG to
expire before wake-up.
The regulator wake-up time required for Standby
mode is controlled by the WUTSEL<1:0>
(CW3<11:10>) Configuration bits. The regulator
wake-up time is lower when WUTSEL<1:0> = 01, and
higher when WUTSEL<1:0> = 11. Refer to the TVREG
specification in Table 30-10 for regulator wake-up
time.
When the regulators Standby mode is turned off
(VREGS = 1), the device wakes up without waiting for
TVREG. However, with the VREGS bit set, the power
consumption while in Sleep mode will be approximately
40 A higher than what it would be if the regulator was
allowed to enter Standby mode.
27.3 Watchdog Timer (WDT)
For PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices, the WDT is
driven by the LPRC oscillator. When the WDT is
enabled, the clock source is also enabled.
The nominal WDT clock source from LPRC is 31 kHz.
This feeds a prescaler that can be configured for either
5-bit (divide-by-32) or 7-bit (divide-by-128) operation.
The prescaler is set by the FWPSA Configuration bit.
With a 31 kHz input, the prescaler yields a nominal
WDT Time-out period (TWDT) of 1 ms in 5-bit mode or
4 ms in 7-bit mode.
A variable postscaler divides down the WDT prescaler
output and allows for a wide range of time-out periods.
The postscaler is controlled by the WDTPS<3:0> Con-
figuration bits (CW1<3:0>), which allows the selection
of a total of 16 settings, from 1:1 to 1:32,768. Using the
prescaler and postscaler time-out periods, ranging
from 1 ms to 131 seconds, can be achieved.
The WDT, prescaler and postscaler are reset:
On any device Reset
On the completion of a clock switch, whether
invoked by software (i.e., setting the OSWEN bit
after changing the NOSC bits) or by hardware
(i.e., Fail-Safe Clock Monitor)
When a PWRSAV instruction is executed
(i.e., Sleep or Idle mode is entered)
When the device exits Sleep or Idle mode to
resume normal operation
By a CLRWDT instruction during normal execution
If the WDT is enabled, it will continue to run during
Sleep or Idle modes. When the WDT time-out occurs,
the device will wake the device and code execution will
continue from where the PWRSAV instruction was exe-
cuted. The corresponding SLEEP or IDLE
(RCON<3:2>) bits will need to be cleared in software
after the device wakes up.
The WDT Flag bit, WDTO (RCON<4>), is not auto-
matically cleared following a WDT time-out. To detect
subsequent WDT events, the flag must be cleared in
software.
Note: For more information, see Section 30.0
Electrical Characteristics. The infor-
mation in this data sheet supersedes the
information in the FRM.
Note: The CLRWDT and PWRSAV instructions
clear the prescaler and postscaler counts
when executed.

27.3.1 WINDOWED OPERATION
The Watchdog Timer has an optional Fixed-Window
mode of operation. In this Windowed mode, CLRWDT
instructions can only reset the WDT during the last 1/4
of the programmed WDT period. A CLRWDT instruction
executed before that window causes a WDT Reset,
similar to a WDT time-out.
Windowed WDT mode is enabled by programming the
WINDIS Configuration bit (CW1<6>) to 0.
27.3.2 CONTROL REGISTER
The WDT is enabled or disabled by the FWDTEN
Configuration bit. When the FWDTEN Configuration bit
is set, the WDT is always enabled.
The WDT can be optionally controlled in software when
the FWDTEN Configuration bit has been programmed
to 0. The WDT is enabled in software by setting the
SWDTEN Control bit (RCON<5>). The SWDTEN
control bit is cleared on any device Reset. The software
WDT option allows the user to enable the WDT for
critical code segments and disable the WDT during
non-critical segments for maximum power savings.

27.4 Program Verification and
Code Protection
PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices provide two compli-
mentary methods to protect application code from
overwrites and erasures. These also help to protect the
device from inadvertent configuration changes during
run time.
27.4.1 GENERAL SEGMENT PROTECTION
For all devices in the PIC24FJ256DA210 family, the
on-chip program memory space is treated as a single
block, known as the General Segment (GS). Code pro-
tection 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.
27.4.2 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 sep-
arate block of write and erase-protected code is
needed, such as bootloader applications. Unlike
common boot block implementations, the specially
protected segment in the PIC24FJ256DA210 family
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.
The size and type of protection for the segmented code
range are configured by the WPFPx, WPEND, WPCFG
and WPDIS bits in Configuration Word 3. Code seg-
ment protection is enabled by programming the WPDIS
bit (= 0). The WPFP bits specify the size of the segment
to be protected, by specifying the 512-word code page
that is the start or end of the protected segment. The
specified region is inclusive, therefore, this page will
also be protected.
The WPEND bit determines if the protected segment
uses the top or bottom of the program space as a
boundary. Programming WPEND (= 0) sets the bottom
of program memory (000000h) as the lower boundary
of the protected segment. Leaving WPEND unpro-
grammed (= 1) protects the specified page through the
last page of implemented program memory, including
the Configuration Word locations.
A separate bit, WPCFG, is used to protect the last page
of program space, including the Flash Configuration
Words. Programming WPCFG (= 0) protects the last
page in addition to the pages selected by the WPEND
and WPFP<7:0> bits setting. This is useful in circum-
stances where write protection is needed for both the
code segment in the bottom of the memory and the
Flash Configuration Words.
The various options for segment code protection are
shown in Table 27-2.
PIC24FJ256DA210 FAMILY
DS39969B-page 358 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
27.4.3 CONFIGURATION REGISTER
PROTECTION
The Configuration registers are protected against
inadvertent or unwanted changes or reads in two ways.
The primary protection method is the same as that of
the RP registers shadow registers contain a compli-
mentary value which is constantly compared with the
actual value.
To safeguard against unpredictable events, Configura-
tion bit changes resulting from individual cell level
disruptions (such as ESD events) will cause a parity
error and trigger a device Reset.
The data for the Configuration registers is derived from
the Flash Configuration Words in program memory.
When the GCP bit is set, the source data for device
configuration is also protected as a consequence. Even
if General Segment protection is not enabled, the
device configuration can be protected by using the
appropriate code segment protection setting.
TABLE 27-2: CODE SEGMENT PROTECTION CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
27.5 JTAG Interface
PIC24FJ256DA210 family devices implement a JTAG
interface, which supports boundary scan device
testing.
27.6 In-Circuit Serial Programming
PIC24FJ256DA210 family microcontrollers can be seri-
ally programmed while in the end application circuit.
This is simply done with two lines for clock (PGECx)
and data (PGEDx), and three other lines for power
(VDD), ground (VSS) and MCLR. This allows customers
to manufacture 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.
27.7 In-Circuit Debugger
When MPLAB

ICD 3 is selected as a debugger, the

in-circuit debugging functionality is enabled. This func-
tion allows simple debugging functions when used with
MPLAB IDE. Debugging functionality is controlled
through the PGECx (Emulation/Debug Clock) and
PGEDx (Emulation/Debug Data) pins.
To use the in-circuit debugger function of the device,
the design must implement ICSP connections to
MCLR, VDD, VSS and the PGECx/PGEDx pin pair des-
ignated by the ICS Configuration bits. In addition, when
the feature is enabled, some of the resources are not
available for general use. These resources include the
first 80 bytes of data RAM and two I/O pins.

29.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC24F instruction set adds many enhancements
to the previous PIC

MCU instruction sets, while main-

taining an easy migration from previous PIC MCU
instruction sets. Most instructions are a single program
memory word. Only three instructions require two
program memory locations.
Each single-word instruction is a 24-bit word divided
into an 8-bit opcode, which specifies the instruction
type and one or more operands, which further specify
the operation of the instruction. The instruction set is
highly orthogonal and is grouped into four basic
categories:
Word or byte-oriented operations
Bit-oriented operations
Literal operations
Control operations
Table 29-1 shows the general symbols used in
describing the instructions. The PIC24F instruction set
summary in Table 29-2 lists all the instructions, along
with the status flags affected by each instruction.
Most word or byte-oriented W register instructions
(including barrel shift instructions) have three
operands:
The first source operand which is typically a
register Wb without any address modifier
The second source operand which is typically a
register Ws with or without an address modifier
The destination of the result which is typically a
register Wd with or without an address modifier
However, word or byte-oriented file register instructions
have two operands:
The file register specified by the value f
The destination, which could either be the file
register f or the W0 register, which is denoted as
WREG
Most bit-oriented instructions (including simple
rotate/shift instructions) have two operands:
The W register (with or without an address
modifier) or file register (specified by the value of
Ws or f)
The bit in the W register or file register
(specified by a literal value or indirectly by the
contents of register Wb)
The literal instructions that involve data movement may
use some of the following operands:
A literal value to be loaded into a W register or file
register (specified by the value of k)
The W register or file register where the literal
value is to be loaded (specified by Wb or f)
However, literal instructions that involve arithmetic or
logical operations use some of the following operands:
The first source operand which is a register Wb
without any address modifier
The second source operand which is a literal
value
The destination of the result (only if not the same
as the first source operand), which is typically a
register Wd with or without an address modifier
The control instructions may use some of the following
operands:
A program memory address
The mode of the table read and table write
instructions
All instructions are a single word, except for certain
double-word instructions, which were made
double-word instructions so that all the required infor-
mation is available in these 48 bits. In the second word,
the 8 MSbs are 0s. If this second word is executed as
an instruction (by itself), it will execute as a NOP.
Most single-word instructions are executed in a single
instruction cycle, unless a conditional test is true or the
program counter is changed as a result of the instruc-
tion. In these cases, the execution takes two instruction
cycles, with the additional instruction cycle(s) executed
as a NOP. Notable exceptions are the BRA (uncondi-
tional/computed branch), indirect CALL/GOTO, all table
reads and writes, and RETURN/RETFIE instructions,
which are single-word instructions but take two or three
cycles.
Certain instructions that involve skipping over the sub-
sequent instruction require either two or three cycles if
the skip is performed, depending on whether the
instruction being skipped is a single-word or two-word
instruction. Moreover, double-word moves require two
cycles. The double-word instructions execute in two
instruction cycles.
Note: This chapter is a brief summary of the
PIC24F instruction set architecture and is
not intended to be a comprehensive
reference source.

loading and switching rate, oscillator type, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have an
impact on the current consumption. The test conditions for all IDD measurements are as follows: OSCI driven
with external square wave from rail to rail. All I/O pins are configured as inputs and pulled to VDD. MCLR = VDD;
WDT and FSCM are disabled. CPU, SRAM, program memory and data memory are operational. No peripheral
modules are operating and all of the Peripheral Module Disable (PMD) bits are set.
3: On-chip voltage regulator enabled (ENVREG tied to VDD). Brown-out Reset (BOR) is enabled.

2: Instruction cycle period (TCY) equals two times the input oscillator time base period. All specified values are
based on characterization data for that particular oscillator type under standard operating conditions with
the device executing code. Exceeding these specified limits may result in an unstable oscillator operation
and/or higher than expected current consumption. All devices are tested to operate at Min. values with an
external clock applied to the OSCI/CLKI pin. When an external clock input is used, the Max. cycle time
limit is DC (no clock) for all devices.
3: Measurements are taken in EC mode. The CLKO signal is measured on the OSCO pin. CLKO is low for the
Q1-Q2 period (1/2 TCY) and high for the Q3-Q4 period (1/2 TCY).
