3.0 CPU
Note 1: This data sheet summarizes the features
of
the
PIC24HJ32GP302/304,
PIC24HJ64GPX02/X04
and
PIC24HJ128GPX02/X04 families of
devices. It is not intended to be a compre-
hensive reference source. To comple-
ment the information in this data sheet,
refer to “Section 2. CPU” (DS70204) of
the “dsPIC33F/PIC24H Family Refer-
ence Manual”, which is available from the
Microchip website (www.microchip.com).
2: Some registers and associated bits
described in this section may not be
available on all devices. Refer to
Section 4.0 “Memory Organization” in
this data sheet for device-specific register
and bit information.
3.1 Overview
The PIC24HJ32GP302/304, PIC24HJ64GPX02/X04
and PIC24HJ128GPX02/X04 CPU module has a 16-bit
(data) modified Harvard architecture with an enhanced
instruction set and addressing modes. The CPU has a
24-bit instruction word with a variable length opcode
field. The Program Counter (PC) is 23 bits wide and
addresses up to 4M x 24 bits of user program memory
space. The actual amount of program memory
implemented varies by device. 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,
single-cycle program loop constructs are supported
using the REPEAT instruction, which is interruptible at
any point.
The PIC24HJ32GP302/304, PIC24HJ64GPX02/X04
and PIC24HJ128GPX02/X04 devices have sixteen,
16-bit working registers in the programmer’s model.
Each of the working registers can serve as a data,
address or address offset register. The 16th working
register (W15) operates as a software Stack Pointer
(SP) for interrupts and calls.
The PIC24HJ32GP302/304, PIC24HJ64GPX02/X04
and PIC24HJ128GPX02/X04 instruction set includes
many addressing modes and is designed for optimum
C compiler efficiency. For most instructions, the
PIC24HJ32GP302/304, PIC24HJ64GPX02/X04 and
PIC24HJ128GPX02/X04 is capable of executing a data
(or program data) memory read, a working register
(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 A + B = C operations to be executed in a single
cycle.
A block diagram of the CPU is shown in Figure 3-1, and
the programmer’s model for the PIC24HJ32GP302/
304, PIC24HJ64GPX02/X04 and PIC24HJ128GPX02/
X04 is shown in Figure 3-2.
3.2 Data Addressing Overview
The data space can be linearly addressed as 32K words
or 64 Kbytes using an Address Generation Unit (AGU).
The upper 32 Kbytes of the data space memory map can
optionally be mapped into program space at any 16K
program word boundary defined by the 8-bit Program
Space Visibility Page (PSVPAG) register. The program to
data space mapping feature lets any instruction access
program space as if it were data space.
The data space also includes 2 Kbytes of DMA RAM,
which is primarily used for DMA data transfers, but may
be used as general purpose RAM.
