1.1
Hardware Requirements
The PIC12F629/675/PIC16F630/676 requires one power supply for VDD (5.0V) and one for VPP (12V).
1.2
Programming Mode
1.0
The Programming mode for the PIC12F629/675/ PIC16F630/676 allows programming of user program memory, data memory, special locations used for ID and the Configuration Word register.
The PIC12F629/675/PIC16F630/676 is programmed using a serial method. The Serial mode will allow the PIC12F629/675/PIC16F630/676 to be programmed while in the users system. This allows for increased design flexibility. This programming specification applies to PIC12F629/675/PIC16F630/676 devices in all packages.

ID Locations
The user memory space extends from 0x0000-0x1FFF. In Programming mode, the program memory space extends from 0x0000-0x3FFF, the first half (0x00000x1FFF) is user program memory and the second half (0x2000-0x3FFF) is configuration memory. The PC will increment from 0x0000-0x1FFF and wrap to 0x000, 0x2000-0x3FFF and wrap around to 0x2000 (not to 0x0000). Once in configuration memory, the highest bit of the PC remains a 1, thus always pointing to the configuration memory. The only way to point to the user program memory is to reset the part and re-enter Program/Verify mode as described in Section 2.3 Program/Verify Mode. In the configuration memory space, 0x2000-0x201F are physically implemented. However, only locations 0x20000x2003 and 0x2007 are available. Other locations are reserved.
A user may store identification information (ID) in four ID locations. The ID locations are mapped in [0x2000: 0x2003]. It is recommended that the user use only the seven Least Significant bits (LSb) of each ID location. Locations read out normally, even after code protection. The ID locations read out in an unscrambled fashion after code protection is enabled. It is recommended that ID location is written as xx xxxx xbbb bbbb where bbb bbbb is ID information. The 14 bits may be programmed, but only the LSbs are displayed by MPLAB IDE. xxxxs are dont care bits as they wont be read by MPLAB IDE.

2.3 Program/Verify Mode
The Program/Verify mode is entered by holding pins clock and data low while raising MCLR pin from VIL to VIHH (high voltage). Apply VDD and data. Once in this mode, the user program memory, data memory and the configuration memory can be accessed and programmed in serial fashion. Clock is Schmitt Trigger and data is TTL input in this mode. GP4 (PIC12F629/675) or RA4 (PIC16F630/676) is tri-state, regardless of use setting. The sequence that enters the device into the Programming/Verify mode places all other logic into the Reset state (the MCLR pin was initially at VIL). This means that all I/Os are in the Reset state (high-impedance inputs). A device Reset will clear the PC and set the address to 0. The Increment Address command will increment the PC. The Load Configuration command will set the PC to 0x2000. The available commands are shown in Table 2-1.
2.3.1
FIGURE 2-2:
The clock pin is used as a clock input pin and the data pin is used for entering command bits and data input/output during serial operation. To input a command, the clock pin (CLOCK) is cycled six times. Each command bit is latched on the falling edge of the clock with the LSb of the command being input first. The data on pin DATA is required to have a minimum setup and hold time (see Table 5-1), with respect to the falling edge of the clock. Commands that have data associated with them (Read and Load) are specified to have a minimum delay of 1 s between the command and the data. After this delay, the clock pin is cycled 16 times with the first cycle being a Start bit and the last cycle being a Stop bit. Data is also input and output LSb first. Therefore, during a read operation, the LSb will be transmitted onto pin DATA on the rising edge of the second cycle. During a load operation, the LSb will be latched on the falling edge of the second cycle. A minimum 1 s delay is also specified between consecutive commands. All commands are transmitted LSb first. Data words are also transmitted LSb first. The data is transmitted on the rising edge and latched on the falling edge of the clock. To allow for decoding of commands and reversal of data pin configuration, a time separation of at least 1 s is required between a command and a data word (or another command). The commands that are available are described in Table 2-1.
VPP VDD DATA CLOCK SDATA = Input The normal sequence for programming is to use the Load Data command to set a value to be written at the selected address. Issue the Begin Programming command followed by a Read Data command to verify and then increment the address.

2.3.1.1 Load Configuration
After receiving this command, the Program Counter (PC) will be set to 0x2000. Then, by applying 16 cycles to the clock pin, the chip will load 14 bits in a data word, as described above, which will be programmed into the configuration memory. A description of the memory mapping schemes of the program memory for normal operation and Configuration mode operation is shown in Figure 2-3. After the configuration memory is entered, the only way to get back to the user program memory is to exit the Program/Verify mode by taking MCLR low (VIL).

2.3.1.3 Load Data For Data Memory
After receiving this command, the chip will load in a 14-bit data word when 16 cycles are applied. However, the data memory is only 8 bits wide and thus, only the first 8 bits of data after the Start bit will be programmed into the data memory. It is still necessary to cycle the clock the full 16 cycles in order to allow the internal circuitry to reset properly. The data memory contains 128 bytes. Only the lower 8 bits of the PC are decoded by the data memory and therefore, if the PC is greater than 0x7F, it will wrap around and address a location within the physically implemented memory.

2.3.1.4
After receiving this command, the chip will transmit data bits out of the program memory (user or configuration) currently accessed, starting with the second rising edge of the clock input. The data pin will go into Output mode on the second rising clock edge and revert to Input mode (high-impedance) after the 16th rising edge.
If the program memory is code-protected (CP = 0), the data is read as zeros.

2.3.1.5 Read Data From Data Memory
After receiving this command, the chip will transmit data bits out of the data memory starting with the second rising edge of the clock input. The data pin will go into Output mode on the second rising edge and revert to Input mode (high-impedance) after the 16th rising edge. As previously stated, the data memory is 8 bits wide and therefore, only the first 8 bits that are output are actual data. If the data memory is code-protected, the data is read as all zeros. A timing diagram of this command is shown in Figure 2-7.

Increment Address
The PC is incremented when this command is received. A timing diagram of this command is shown in Figure 2-8. It is not possible to decrement the address counter. To reset this counter, the user should exit and re-enter Programming mode.

2.3.1.7 Begin Programming (Internally Timed)
A Load command must be given before every Begin Programming command. Programming of the appropriate memory (user program memory or data memory) will begin after this command is received and decoded. An internal timing mechanism executes a write. The user must allow for program cycle time for programming to complete. No End Programming command is required. When programming data memory, the byte being addressed is erased before being programmed.

2.3.1.9 Bulk Erase Program Memory
After this command is performed and Calibration bits are erased, the entire program memory is erased. If data is code-protected, data memory will also be erased. Note 1: The OSCCAL word and BG bits must be read prior to erasing the device and restored during the programming operation. OSCCAL is at location 0x3FF and the BG bits are bits 12 and 13 of the Configuration Word (0x2007). 2: The OSCCAL location must contain the RETLW instruction within its data in order to be verified properly. The data in the OSCCAL location should be 11 01xx xxxx xxxx, where the xs are dont care bits and are ignored by the programmer. To perform a bulk erase of the program memory, the following sequence must be performed. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Read OSCCAL 0x3FF. Verify RETLW instruction for OSCCAL location. Read Configuration Word. Do a Bulk Erase Program Memory command. Wait TERA to complete bulk erase.
If the address is pointing to the ID/configuration program memory (0x2000-0x201F), then both the user memory and the ID locations will be erased.

Data memory wont erase if code-protected (CPD = 0). Note: All bulk erase operations must take place at 4.5V to 5.5V VDD range for PIC12F629/ 675/PIC16F630/676 devices and 2.0V to 5.5V VDD for PIC16F630-ICD device.

Execute Bulk Erase Data Memory (001011). Wait TERA. Reset device to reset address counter before reprogramming device. Restore OSCCAL and BG bits. Note: To ensure system security, if CPD bit = 0, step c) will also erase data memory. For PIC12F629/675/PIC16F630/676 devices, once code protection is enabled, all program memory locations, except 0X3FF, reads all 0s. The ID locations and the Configuration Word read out in an unprotected fashion. Further programming is disabled for the entire program memory. Data memory is protected with its own Code Protection Data bit (CPD). It is possible to program the ID locations and the Configuration Word.
4.1
It is recommended that the following procedure be performed before any other programming is attempted. It is also possible to turn code protection off (CPD = 1) using this procedure. However, all data within the program memory and the data memory will be erased when this procedure is executed and thus, the security of the data or code is not compromised.
4.2
To allow portability of code, the programmer is required to read the Configuration Word and ID locations from the hex file when loading the hex file. If Configuration Word information was not present in the hex file, then a simple warning message may be issued. Similarly, while saving a hex file, Configuration Word and ID information must be included. An option to not include this information may be provided. Specifically for the PIC12F629/675/PIC16F630/676, the EEPROM data memory should also be embedded in the hex file (see Section 4.3.2 Embedding Data EEPROM Contents In Hex File). Microchip Technology Incorporated feels strongly that this feature is important for the benefit of the end customer.

Checksum Computation
CHECKSUM
Note 1: The checksum calculation differs depending on the code-protect setting. Since the program memory locations read out differently depending on the codeprotect setting, Table 4-1 describes how to manipulate the actual program memory values to simulate the values that would be read from a protected device. When calculating a checksum by reading a device, the entire program memory can simply be read and summed. The Configuration Word and ID locations can always be read. 2: Some older devices have an additional value added in the checksum. This is to maintain compatibility with older device programmer checksums.
Checksum is calculated by reading the contents of the PIC12F629/675/PIC16F630/676 memory locations and adding up the opcodes to the maximum user addressable location (e.g., 0x3FE for the PIC12F629/ 675/PIC16F630/676). Any carry bits exceeding 16 bits are neglected. Finally, the Configuration Word (appropriately masked) is added to the checksum. Checksum computation for the devices is shown in Table 4-1. The checksum is calculated by summing the following: The contents of all program memory locations. The Configuration Word, appropriately masked. Masked ID locations (when applicable). The 16 LSbs of this sum is the checksum. The following table describes how to calculate the checksum for each device.

Legend: CFGW = Configuration Word SUM[a:b] = [Sum of locations a to b inclusive] SUM_ID = ID locations masked by 0xF then made into a 16-bit value with ID0 as the Most Significant nibble. For example: ID0 = 0x1, ID1 = 0x2, ID3 = 0x3, ID4 = 0x4, then SUM_ID = 0x1234 *Checksum = [Sum of all the individual expressions] MODULO [0xFFFF] + = Addition & = Bitwise AND
4.3.2
The programmer should be able to read data EEPROM information from a hex file and conversely (as an option), write data EEPROM contents to a hex file, along with program memory information and fuse information. The 128 data memory locations are logically mapped starting at address 0x2100. The format for data memory storage is one data byte per address location, LSb aligned.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices: 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.
