MEMORY ORGANIZATION PIC16F84 has two separate memory blocks: data & program Data block: GPR and SFP registers in RAM memory (read/write memory- static memory), EEPROM memory Program block: FLASH memory

Memory organization of PIC16F84

MEMORY ORGANIZATION: Program Memory Used for storing programs (opcodes), directly under control of program counter (PC) Wake up memory (address 0000H) when PIC is powered up. Has been carried out in FLASH technology (indicated by the letter F in the part number, C for one-time programmable (OTP)) : possible to program a  C many times Size of 1024 locations, 14 bits width Locations 0000h & 0004h are reserved for reset & interrupt vector, respectively The 1 st 1Kx14 (0000h-03FFh) are physically implemented address Accessing a location of physically implemented address will cause a wraparound

MEMORY ORGANIZATION: Program Memory

MEMORY ORGANIZATION: Data Memory Also known as file register: data storage, scratch pad & registers for internal use and functions Special Function Registers (SFR) - 8-bit wide - ALU status, timers, serial communication, I/O ports, ADC, & etc. - function of each SFR is fixed in design, used to control  C or peripheral - access either directly (names @ addresses) or indirectly (FSR – File Select Register) - classified into core and peripheral sets - control bits (RP1, RP0) in STATUS register are used for bank selection General Purpose Registers (GPR) - 8-bit wide - also called general purpose RAM (GP RAM) - used for data storage & scratch pad - accessed directly - addresses in Bank 0 & Bank 1 are mapped together Location of SFR and GPR vary from chip to chip, even among members of the same family

SFR File Memory Legend: x = unknown, u = unchanged, - = unimplemented, read as '0', q = value depends on condition Note 1: The upper byte of the program counter is not directly accessible. PCLATH is a slave register for PC<12:8>. The contents of PCLATH can be transferred to the upper byte of the program counter, but the contents of PC<12:8> are never transferred to PCLATH. 2: The TO and PD status bits in the STATUS register are not affected by a MCLR Reset. 3: Other (non power-up) RESETS include: external RESET through MCLR and the Watchdog Timer Reset. 4: On any device RESET, these pins are configured as inputs. 5: This is the value that will be in the port output latch.

Review True or false. Every member of the PIC16 family, regardless of the program ROM size, wakes up at memory 0000H when it is powered up. What is the main difference between the PIC16Fxxx and PIC16Cxxx  C? The GPR and SFR together are called ____. The SFR registers in PIC are ___-bit. The data memory in PIC16 is divided into ____-byte banks.

Timer & Prescalar Establish relation between a real dimension such as “time” and a variable which represents status of a time within a microcontroller PIC16F84 has an 8-bit timer, whose its value is continually increasing to 255 and then it starts all over again: 0, 1, 2, 3, …, 255, 0, 1,… etc Prescaler divides oscillator clock before it reaches logic that increases timer status. The first three bits in OPTION register defines divisor 256 is the highest divisor, means timer clock would increase by one at every 256 th clock

Flash Memory Store permanent information on some palm-sized computers (operating system & core applications) Unlike RAM (random-access memory), flash memory can continue to store information in the absence of a power source. Unlike ROM (read-only memory), we can write/update to flash memory More expensive than ROM

RAM Random-access memory The most common computer memory to perform necessary tasks while the computer is on An integrated circuit memory chip allows information to be stored or accessed in any order and all storage locations are equally accessible.

ROM Read Only Memory Non-volatile: hold programs and data that must be retained even the computer is turned off data cannot be easily written to ROM; depending on the technology used in the ROM, writing may require special hardware, or may be impossible. A computer's BIOS may be stored in ROM.

EEPROM Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory ROM that can be erased electronically and reprogrammed in-circuit (or with a device programmer). EEPROM is very similar to flash memory. The biggest difference is that the bytes (words) of an EEPROM can be erased individually.
