Description
This document contains device specific information for the following devices: This family offers the advantages of all PIC18 microcontrollers – namely, high computational performance at an economical price – with the addition of high endurance Enhanced Flash program memory. On top of these features, the PIC18F1220/1320 family introduces design enhancements that make these microcontrollers a logical choice for many high-performance, power sensitive applications. New Core Features nanoWatt TECHNOLOGY All of the devices in the PIC18F1220/1320 family incorporate a range of features that can significantly reduce power consumption during operation. Key items include: Alternate Run Modes: By clocking the controller from the Timer1 source or the internal oscillator block, power consumption during code execution can be reduced by as much as 90%. Multiple Idle Modes: The controller can also run with its CPU core disabled, but the peripherals are still active. In these states, power consumption can be reduced even further, to as little as 4% of normal operation requirements. On-the-fly Mode Switching: The power managed modes are invoked by user code during operation, allowing the user to incorporate power-saving ideas into their application’s software design. Lower Consumption in Key Modules: The power requirements for both Timer1 and the Watchdog Timer have been reduced by up to 80%, with typical values of 1.1 and 2.1 µA, respectively. MULTIPLE OSCILLATOR OPTIONS AND FEATURES All of the devices in the PIC18F1220/1320 family offer nine different oscillator options, allowing users a wide range of choices in developing application hardware. These include: Four Crystal modes, using crystals or ceramic resonators. Two External Clock modes, offering the option of using two pins (oscillator input and a divide-by-4 clock output), or one pin (oscillator input, with the second pin reassigned as general I/O). Two External RC Oscillator modes, with the same pin options as the External Clock modes. An internal oscillator block, which provides an 8 MHz clock (±2% accuracy) and an INTRC source (approximately 31 kHz, stable over temperature and VDD), as well as a range of 6 user-selectable clock frequencies (from 125 kHz to 4 MHz) for a total of 8 clock frequencies. Besides its availability as a clock source, the internal oscillator block provides a stable reference source that gives the family additional features for robust operation: Fail-Safe Clock Monitor: This option constantly monitors the main clock source against a reference signal provided by the internal oscillator. If a clock failure occurs, the controller is switched to the internal oscillator block, allowing for continued low-speed operation, or a safe application shutdown. Two-Speed Start-up: This option allows the internal oscillator to serve as the clock source from Poweron Reset, or wake-up from Sleep mode, until the primary clock source is available. This allows for code execution during what would otherwise be the clock start-up interval and can even allow an application to perform routine background activities and return to Sleep without returning to full power operation.
