Use Input Output Ports of PIC18F452 Microcontroller
We will learn how to use GPIO pins of Pic microcontroller. We will see how to configure
general purpose pins either as a digital input and digital output. For demonstration, we will use
PIC18F452 microcontroller but you can also any other Microchip microcontroller also.
Pic Microcontroller GPIO Pins Introduction

The PIC18F452 microcontroller uses a number of input/output pins for connection with
external devices. It has a total of 40 pins, out of which 34 can serve as input/output pins. These
pins are grouped into five ports, which are Port A, Port B, Port C, Port D, and Port E. This
article will teach you how to utilize the I/O ports of the PIC18F452 microcontroller.
PortA
Port A consists of seven pins named as RA0-RA6.
PortB
Port B consists of eight pins named as RB0-RA7.
PortC
Port C consists of eight pins named as RC0-RC7.
PortD
Port D consists of eight pins named as RD0-RD7.
PortE
Port E consists of three pins named as RE0-RE2.
GPIO Pins Configuration Registers

Each port has three registers for its operation. These registers are:
1. TRIS register (data direction register)

2. PORT register (reads the levels on the pins of the device)
3. LAT register (output latch)
1. TRIS Register
TRIS is a data direction register. Setting the TRIS bit for the corresponding port determines the
data direction (read or write) of the microcontroller. Each port has its own TRIS register. For
example, to make Port A an output port, we can use the following code:
TRISA = 0; // making port as output port (write)
To make a specific bit of the port as input or output, we can use the following code:
TRISA.RA2 = 1; // configure PORTA pin RA2 as input

2. PORT Register
The PORT register is to read the levels on the pins of the device and assign logic values (0/1) to
the ports.
Input Mode of Port A
In the input mode of Port A, the status of the pins can be read by reading the PORTA register.
First, we need to set the direction of data by setting the TRISA bit to 1, which makes the
corresponding PORTA pin an input and puts the corresponding output driver in a Hi-Impedance
mode. Example code:
TRISA = 1; // making port as input port (read)

PORTA = 0xFF; // reading the status of the pins (input mode)
Output Mode of Port A
In the output mode of Port A, we need to set the direction of data using the TRISA register and
assign a value to the port for output. A write to the PORT register writes the data value to the
port latch. Example code:
TRISA = 0; // making port as output port (write)

PORTA = 0x03; // assigning high logic to RA0 and RA1
3. LAT Register
The LAT (Latch) register is associated with an I/O pin and eliminates the problems that could
occur with read-modify-write instructions.
Latch Read
A read of the LAT register returns the values held in the port output latches instead of the values
on the I/O pins.
Latch Write
A write to the LAT register has the same effect as a write to the PORT register. A write to the
PORT register writes the data value to the port latch.
ANSEL and ANSELH
There are several registers that affect the operation of the digital I/O pins. If you look at the pin
diagram you will see that pin 3 is called RA4/AN3. This is because it can serve as digital I/O port
RA4, or analog input pin AN3. The two registers ANSEL and ANSELH control whether or not
AN0 through AN11 are operational. Each bit in the register controls one pin as outlined in the
register tables shown below. A '0' sets the pin to digital mode and a '1' sets the pin to analog mode.
For example, if you make ANSEL equal to 0b10000001 (binary), then AN7 will be enabled and
RC3 will be disabled because they share the same pin (pin 7). AN0 will also be in analog mode
(RA0 disabled). Reading a pin that is set to analog mode will return a '0'.
ANSEL = 0x81; //AN7 and AN0 enabled

ANSELH = 0x05; //AN8 and AN10 enabled
Setting a PORT in Binary
So we will first show how to set a PORT in binary values.
We will set the bits on PORTA and PORTB.
We will make the first 2 bits of PORTA as inputs and the next 6 bits as outputs.
We will make the first 5 bits of PORTB as outputs and the last 3 bit as inputs.
The code to do this is shown below.
TRISA= 0b00000011;
TRISB= 0b11100000;
Remember that the first bits appear to the rightmost, since the most significant bit (RA7 or RB7) is
leftmost.
As another example, to make all bits in PORTA inputs and all bits in PORTB outputs, we use the
following code below.
TRISA= 0b11111111;
TRISB= 0b00000000;
Setting a PORT in Hexadecimal

Now we show how to set a PORT in hexadecimal values.
The advantage of setting a PORT with hexadecimal values is that the number used is shorter than if
using other number formats.
The disadvantage is that many times it requires calculation or some type of converter to know the value
that must be used, but with practice, a programmer may know what codes correspond to what
We will set the bits on PORTA and PORTB.
We will make the first 2 bits of PORTA as inputs and the next 6 bits as outputs.
We will make the first 5 bits of PORTB as outputs and the last 3 bit as inputs.
The code to do this is shown below.
TRISA= 0x3;
TRISB= 0xE0;
To make all bits in PORTA inputs and all bits in PORTB outputs, we use the following code below.
TRISA= 0xFF;
TRISB= 0x00;
Now all bits in PORTA are inputs and all bits in PORTB are outputs.
PIC is a Peripheral Interface Microcontroller which was developed in the year 1993 by the General
Instruments Microcontrollers. It is controlled by software and programmed in such a way that it
performs different tasks and controls a generation line. PIC microcontrollers are used in different
new applications such as smartphones, audio accessories, and advanced medical devices.

Read Modify Write Problem
PIC16Fxxx family of MCUs
The Microchip mid-range PIC microcontrollers use a sequence known as Read-Modify-Write (RMW)
when changing an output state (1 or 0) on a pin. This can cause unexpected behavior under certain circumstances.
When your program changes the state on a specific pin, for example RB0 in PORTB, the PIC
microcontroller first READs all 8 bits of the PORTB register which represents the states of all 8 pins in PORTB
(RB7-RB0).
The PIC microcontroller then stores this data in the MCU. The bit associated with RB that you've
commanded to MODIFY is changed, and then the PIC microcontroller WRITEs all 8 bits (RB7-RB0) back to
the PORTB register.
During the first reading of the PORT register, you will be reading the actual state of the physical pin.
The problem arises when an output pin is loaded in such a way that its logic state is affected by the load.
Instances of such loads are LEDs without current-limiting resistors or loads with high capacitance or inductance.
For example, if a capacitor is attached between pin and ground, it will take a short while to charge when the pin
is set to 1.
On the other hand, if the capacitor is discharged, it acts like a short circuit, forcing the pin to '0' state, and,
therefore, a read of the PORT register will return 0, even though we wrote a 1 to it.
Lets analyze the following example :
PORTB.B0 = 1;
PORTB.B1 = 1;
Assume that the PORTB is initially set to zero, and that all pins are set to output. Let's say we connect a discharged
capacitor to RB0 pin.
The first line, PORTB.B0 = 1; will be decoded like in this way :
The second line, PORTB.B1 = 1; will be decoded like in this way :
To correct the problem in the code, insert a delay after each PORTB.Bx = 1 line, or modify the entire
PORTB register in a single line PORTB = 0b00000011.
PIC18Fxxxx family of MCUs

On a PIC18Fxxxx device, this problem can be avoided by using LATx register when writing to ports,
rather than using PORTx registers.
Writing to a LATx register is equivalent to writing to a PORTx register, but readings from LATx
registers return the data value held in the port latch, regardless of the state of the actual pin.
For example, lets analyze the following example :
LATB.B0 = 1;
LATB.B1 = 1;
The first line, LATB.B0 = 1; will be decoded like in this way :
The second line, LATB.B1 = 1; will be decoded like in this way
When to use LATx instead of PORTx

Depending on your hardware, one may experience unpredictable behavior when using PORTx bits for
driving output.
Displays (GLCD, LCD), chip select pins in SPI interfaces and other cases when you need fast and reliable
output, LATx should be used instead of PORTx.
LED DICE
====================
This is a LED dice project. In this project 6 LEDs are connected to PORTB to represent the number
1 to 6. In addi�on, RC0 is used as the roll switch. If the dice is rolled, that means switch at RC0 is
pressed, the random number 1 through 6 is generated and corresponding output will appear at
the PORTB.
*****************************************************************************/
void main()
{
unsigned char digit;
unsigned char Dice[]={0,0x01, 0x03, 0x07,0x0F,0x1F,0x3F};

TRISB = 0; // Configure PORTD as outputs
TRISC = 0x01; // Configure RC.0 of PORTC as input

if(PORTC.RC0 == 1)
{digit=rand()%6+1;
PORTB=Dice[digit];
Delay_Ms(3000);
PORTB=0;}
}
}

BUZZERS
Buzzers can be categorized into two different types – active buzzers and passive buzzers. An active
buzzer has a built-in oscillator so it can produce sound with only a DC power supply.
A passive buzzer does not have a built-in oscillator, so it needs an AC audio signal to produce
sound.
ACTIVE BUZZERS
Active buzzers are the simplest to use. They are typically available in voltages from 1.5V to 24V.
All you need to do is apply a DC voltage to the pins and it will make a sound.
Active buzzers have polarity. The polarity is the same as an LED and a capacitor – the longer pin
goes to positive. One downside of active buzzers is that the frequency of the sound is fixed and
cannot be adjusted.
PASSIVE BUZZERS
Passive buzzers need an AC signal to produce sound. the downside to this is that they will need
more complex circuitry to control them, like an oscillating 555 timer or a programmable
microcontroller like the Arduino.
Passive buzzers have the advantage that they can vary the pitch or tone of the sound. Passive
buzzers can be programmed to emit a wide range of frequencies or musical notes.

Generating Sound
====================
This project shows how sound with different frequencies can be generated using a simple
buzzer. The project shows how the simple melody “Happy Birthday” can be played using a
buzzer.
Normally, buzzers are excited using square wave signals, also called Pulse Width
Modulated (PWM) signals. The frequency of the signal determines the pitch of the generated
sound, and duty cycle of the signal can be used to increase or decrease the volume. Most
buzzers operate in the frequency range 2-4 kHz. The PWM signal required to generate sound
can be using the PWM module of the PIC microcontrollers.
When playing a melody, each note is played for a certain duration and with a certain
frequency. In addition, a certain gap is necessary between two successive notes. The
frequencies of the musical notes starting from middle C (i.e. C4) are given below. The harmonic
of a note is obtained by doubling the frequency. For example, the frequency of C5 is 2 x 262 =
524 Hz.
mikroC Pro for the PIC compiler provides a sound library with the following two functions:
Sound_Init This function is used to specify to which port and which pin the sound device is
connected to
Sound_Init(char *snd_port, char snd_pin)
Eg., Sound_Init(&PORTC, 3);
Sound_Play This function generates a square wave signal with the specified frequency
(hertz) and duration (milliseconds) from the port pin specified by the
initialization function. The frequencies given in the above table are
approximated to their nearest integers since this function accepts only integer
frequencies.
Sound_Play(unsigned freq_in_hz, unsigned duration_ms);
Eg., Sound_Play(698, 250); // Frequency = 698Hz, duration = 250ms
Notes C4 C4# D4 D4# E4 F4 F4# G4 G4# A4 A4# B4
Hz 261.63 277.18 293.66 311.13 329.63 349.23 370 392 415.3 440 466.16 493.88

Interrupt with PIC Microcontroller - Mikroc
Interrupt is a very important concept in microcontroller. It notifies the microcontroller of an
external/internal event or that a device needs its service.
There are 2 ways that a device can notify the microcontroller for its service;
• Polling.
• Interrupt.
In polling the microcontroller keeps monitoring the status of a particular device, when the
condition is met, it services the given device. After that it moves to next device until all the devices
are serviced.
This method is not efficient as it wastes much of the microcontroller time polling devices that do
not need service.
In interrupt, when a device needs service,
• The device will send an interrupt signal to the microcontroller to notify it of its
service.
• The microcontroller interrupts whatever it is doing to serve the device on
receiving of the interrupt signal.
*** Every interrupt request have an interrupt handler otherwise called Interrupt Service Routine
(ISR). The microcontroller runs the ISR on every interrupt request.
*** For every interrupt, there is a fixed location in memory that holds the ADDRESS of its ISR.
These group of memory location is called INTERRUPT VECTOR TABLE.
Interrupts can occur either ASYNCHRONUOSLY (External Events) or SYNCHRONUOSLY
(usually Timer Interrupt).
STEPS INVOLVED IN EXECUTING AN INTERRUPT

• When an interrupt request is made, the microcontroller goes through the following steps:
• It finishes the instruction it is executing and saves the address of the next instruction
(program counter) on the stack.
• It jumps to Interrupt Vector Table (IVT), the IVT directs the microcontroller to the address of
the ISR.
• The microcontroller gets the address of the ISR from IVT and jumps to it. It starts to execute
the ISR until it reaches the last instruction which is Return from Interrupt Exist.
• Upon executing the Return from Interrupt Exist instruction, the microcontroller returns to the
place where it was interrupted and resumes its normal flow of execution.
There are several sources of interrupt for PIC 16/18 microcontrollers. Most commonly used are
the:
• Timer Interrupt.
• External Interrupt
• PORTB change Interrupt etc.
The PIC18 timer is divided into 4 types

1. Timer 0
2. Timer 1
3. Timer 2
4. Timer 3
PIC18 timers can be used to generate a time delay or as a counter to count external event
happening outside the microcontroller.
In this article, we will see how to generate a time delay by programming the PIC18 timer.
Timer 0
The timer 0 module has the following features

• Software is scalable as an 8 bit or 16-bit timer/counter.
• Readable and writable
• Dedicated 8 bit software programmable Prescaler
• Clock source selectable to be internal or external
• Edge select for external clock
Register required for Timer 0
Control register
Each timer has a control register called TCON to set the various timer operation modes.
T0CON is an 8-bit register used for control of timer 0.
TMR0ON (Timer0 on/off control bit)
1 = Enable timer 0
0 = Disable timer 0
T08BIT (Timer0 8-bit/16-bit control bit)
1 = Configured as an 8-bit timer/counter
0 = Configured as an 16-bit timer/counter
T0CS (Timer0 clock source select bit)
1 = Transition on T0CKL pin
0 = Internal instruction cycle clock (CLK0) [It means Fosc/4]
T0SE (Timer0 Source Edge select bit)
1 = High to Low transition on T0CKL pin
0 = Low to High transition on T0CKL pin
PSA (Timer0 Prescaler assignment bit)
1 = Timer 0 Prescaler is not assigned
0 = Timer 0 Prescaler is assigned
T0PS2 - T0PS0 (Timer0 prescaler select bit)
111 - 1:256 prescaler value
Load register
TMR0H (higher byte)

TMR0L (lower byte)
FLAG bit
TMR0IF (present in INTCON register)
*** For the same interrupt to re-occur, the completion status has to be cleared that is; T0IF=0
(Timer 0 Interrupt Flag) and the Timer Value reloaded into the timer register.
Note: By loading TMR0 Register we can control the count until an overflow occurs (interrupt
takes place)
How to Calculate Value to be loaded into the Timer 0 Register

TMRO value = 256 - t / (T * prescaler value)
t = Overflow Time or Time Interrupt Occurs (in microseconds)
T (Oscillator Period in Microseconds) = 1 / (Internal Oscillator Frequency)
Internal Oscillator Frequency = Crystal clock / 4
*** In PIC microcontroller instruction takes 4 clock cycles, that’s why you see crystal clock being
divided by 4.
Assuming we have PIC 16F877A microcontroller using an external clock of 8 MHz and we are
required to generate 200 microseconds interrupt with a Prescaler value of 2. The TMRO Value
will be 56 using the above formula.
Internal Oscillator Frequency = 8MHz / 4 = 2MHz
T (Oscillator Period in Microseconds) = 1 / 2MHz = 0.5microseconds
t = Overflow Time or Time Interrupt Occurs (in microseconds) = 200microseconds
TMRO value = 256 - 200microsec / (0.5microsec * 2) = 256-200 = 56

Prescaler is a name for the part of a microcontroller which divides oscillator clock before it will
reach logic that increases timer status. The range of the prescaler id is from 1 to 256 and the value
of the Prescaler can be set using the OPTION Register (The same one that we used for pull up
resistors). For example if the value of prescaler is 64, then for every 64th pulse the Timer will be
incremented by 1.
As the timer increments and when it reaches to its maximum value of 255, it will trigger an
interrupt and initialize itself to 0 back again. This interrupt is called as the Timer Interrupt. This
interrupt informs the MCU that this particular time has lapped.

External Interrupt
=====================
Types of interrupts
There are two methods of communication between the microcontroller and the external device:
• By using Polling
• By using Interrupts
POLLING
In this method, the external devices are not independent. We fix the time interval in which
microcontroller has to contact the external device. The microcontroller accesses that device at the
exact time interval and gets the required information. Polling method is just like picking up our
phone after every few seconds to see if we have a call. The main drawback of this method is the
waste of time of microcontroller. It needs to wait and check whether the new information has
arrived not.
INTERRUPT SOURCES in microcontrollers

The request to the microcontroller to stop to perform the current program temporarily can come
from various sources:
• Through external hardware devices like pressing specific key on the keyboard, which sends
Interrupt to the microcontroller to read the information of the pressed key.
• During execution of the program, the microcontroller can also send interrupts to itself to report
an error in the code. For example, division by 0 will causes an interrupt.
• In the multi-processor system, the microcontrollers can send interrupts to each other to
communicate. For example, to divide the work between them they will send signals between
them.
INTERRUPT TYPES in pic microcontrollers

There are 2 types of interrupts for PIC microcontroller that can cause break.
Software Interrupt: It comes from a program that is executed by microcontroller or we can say
that it is generated by internal peripherals of the microcontroller and requests the processor to hold
the running of program and go to make an interrupt.
Hardware Interrupt: These interrupts are sent by external hardware devices at certain pins
of microcontroller.
INTERRUPTS IN PIC18F452
Following interrupts sources are present in PIC18F452
• Timer over interrupt

• CCP (compare capture pulse-width-modulation) Interrupt
• Serial communication’s USART interrupts (receive and transmit)
• Reset, Brown-Out Reset, Watch-dog Reset, Power On Reset
• Parallel Port Read/Write Interrupt
• Master Synchronous Serial Port Interrupt

(Power on Reset status) and BOR (Brown Out Reset status bit)
INTCON Register:
• 3 Interrupt control registers INTCON, INTCON2, INTCON3
• Readable and writable register which contains various enable and flag bits
• Interrupt flag bits get set when an interrupt condition occurs
• Contain enable, priority and flag bits for external interrupt, port B pin change and TMR0
overflow interrupt
PIE Register:
• Peripheral Interrupt Enable register
• May be multiple register (PIE1, PIE2), depending on the number of peripheral interrupt sources
• Contain the individual bits to enable/disable Peripheral interrupts for use
PIR Register:

sources
• Contain bits to identify which interrupt occurs (flags)
• Corresponding bits are set when the interrupt occurred

External Interrupt1
Working Principal:
PORT D LEDs will on as 10101010. When button at RB1 is pushed, interrupt service routine will
start. It will invert (or toggle) the output at PORTD. After 1 sec while loop will again start.
Code:
void interrupt() // Interrupt Service Routine

{ if(INT1F_bit == 1 )
{ INT1F_bit = 0; // Clear the interrupt 0 flag
LATD=~LATD; //toggle PORTD
delay_ms(1000); //Delay 1 second;
}
}
void main()
{
ANSELB = 0; // Configure PORT B pins as digital
ANSELD = 0; // Configure PORT D pins as digital
TRISB = 2; // Set PORT B (only RB1) as input
TRISD = 0; // Set PORT D as output
LATD = 0x00; // Set all pin on PORT D Low
INTEDG1_bit = 1; // Set interrupt on rising edge

INT1IF_bit = 0; // Clear INT1 flag

while(1)
{
LATD=0xAA; //Set some value at PortD
}
}
External Interrupt2
Working Principal:
This is a simple interrupt demonstration project. All LEDs on PORTD will flash until interrupt
occurs (RB0 is pressed).Interrupt will set local flag, which will cause Flashing routine to be
executed.
/* NOTES:
- Put J17 in VCC position.
- Turn ON the PORT D LEDs at SW3.4.
- Put PORTB dip switch RB0 in PullDown position
*/

LATD.F1 = 0;
Delay250(); Delay250();
}
void interrupt(){ // Interrupt rutine

if(INT0F_bit == 1 ) { // Checks Receive Interrupt Flag bit
flag = 1; // Set local interrupt flag
INT0F_bit = 0; // Clear Interrupt Flag
}
}
void main() {
flag = 0; // Varialbe initialisation

while(1) {
LATD = 0xFF; // Set all pin on PORT D High
Delay250(); // Wait for some time
Delay150(); // Wait for some time
if(flag) { // Checks local interrupt flag
FlashD1(); // Do something
flag = 0; // Resert local interrupt flag
}
}
}
External Interrupt3
Working Principal:
All LEDs on PORTD will remain LOW at the beginning. To initialize the program, the interrupt
signal must appear at RB1. After that, three flashing patterns can be changed from one to another
by pressing switch connected to RB1.
int count;
void interrupt() // Interrupt Service Routine
{ if(INT1F_bit == 1 )
{ count+=1;
delay_ms(200);
INT1F_bit = 0; // Clear the interrupt 0 flag
if(count==4) count=1; //Assign flag as 1;
}
}

count=0;

while(1)
{ while(count==1)
{LATD=0x00;
delay_ms(100);
LATD=~LATD;
delay_ms(500);
}
while(count==2)
{PORTD=J;
delay_ms(100);
J=J<<1;
if(J==0) J=1;
}
while(count==3)
{for(i=0;i<8;i++)
{PORTD=L[i];
delay_ms(100);}
for(i=0;i<8;i++)
{PORTD=R[i];
delay_ms(100);}
}
}
}
ADC analogue to digital conversion
=========================================
Digital signals have two discrete states, which are decoded as high and low, and interpreted
as logic 1 and logic 0. Analog signals, on the other hand, are continuous, and can have any value
within defined range. A/D converters are specialized circuits which can convert analog signals
(voltages) into a digital representation, usually in form of an integer number. The value of this
number is linearly dependent on the input voltage value. Most microcontrollers nowadays
internally have A/D converters connected to one or more input pins. Some of the most important
parameters of A/D converters are conversion time and resolution. Conversion time determines how
fast can an analog voltage be represented in form of a digital number. This is an important
parameter if you need fast data acquisition. The other parameter is resolution. Resolution
represents the number of discrete steps that supported voltage range can be divided into. It
determines the sensitivity of the A/D converter.

STEPS INVOLVED IN EXECUTING AN INTERRUPT

The PIC18 timer is divided into 4 types

The timer 0 module has the following features

TMR0H (higher byte)

TMR0IF (present in INTCON register)

How to Calculate Value to be loaded into the Timer 0 Register

t = Overflow Time or Time Interrupt Occurs (in microseconds)

T (Oscillator Period in Microseconds) = 1 / (Internal Oscillator Frequency)

Internal Oscillator Frequency = Crystal clock / 4

T (Oscillator Period in Microseconds) = 1 / 2MHz = 0.5microseconds

t = Overflow Time or Time Interrupt Occurs (in microseconds) = 200microseconds

TMRO value = 256 - 200microsec / (0.5microsec * 2) = 256-200 = 56
