PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW
This document contains device-specific information for
the following devices:
• PIC18F66J60
• PIC18F87J60
• PIC18F66J65
• PIC18F96J60
• PIC18F67J60
• PIC18F96J65
• PIC18F86J60
• PIC18F97J60
• PIC18F86J65
This family introduces a new line of low-voltage devices
with the foremost traditional advantage of all PIC18
microcontrollers – namely, high computational per-
formance and a rich feature set at an extremely
competitive price point. These features make the
PIC18F97J60 family a logical choice for many
high-performance applications where cost is a primary
consideration.
1.1 Core Features
1.1.1
OSCILLATOR OPTIONS AND
FEATURES
All of the devices in the PIC18F97J60 family offer five
different oscillator options, allowing users a range of
choices in developing application hardware. These
options include:
• Two Crystal modes, using crystals or ceramic
resonators.
• Two External Clock modes, offering the option of
a divide-by-4 clock output.
• A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier,
available to the external oscillator modes, which
allows clock speeds of up to 41.667 MHz.
• An internal RC oscillator with a fixed 31 kHz
output which provides an extremely low-power
option for timing-insensitive applications.
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, 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 Power-on Reset, or wake-up from Sleep
mode, until the primary clock source is available.
1.1.2 EXPANDED MEMORY
The PIC18F97J60 family provides ample room for
application code, from 64 Kbytes to 128 Kbytes of code
space. The Flash cells for program memory are rated
to last 100 erase/write cycles. Data retention without
refresh is conservatively estimated to be greater than
20 years.
The PIC18F97J60 family also provides plenty of room
for dynamic application data with 3808 bytes of data
RAM.
1.1.3 EXTERNAL MEMORY BUS
In the unlikely event that 128 Kbytes of memory are
inadequate for an application, the 100-pin members of
the PIC18F97J60 family also implement an External
Memory Bus (EMB). This allows the controller’s inter-
nal program counter to address a memory space of up
to 2 Mbytes, permitting a level of data access that few
8-bit devices can claim. This allows additional memory
options, including:
• Using combinations of on-chip and external
memory up to the 2-Mbyte limit
• Using external Flash memory for reprogrammable
application code or large data tables
• Using external RAM devices for storing large
amounts of variable data
1.1.4 EXTENDED INSTRUCTION SET
The PIC18F97J60 family implements the optional
extension to the PIC18 instruction set, adding eight
new instructions and an Indexed Addressing mode.
Enabled as a device configuration option, the extension
has been specifically designed to optimize reentrant
application code originally developed in high-level
languages, such as C.
1.1.5 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.
