3.0
The high performance of the PIC17CXXX can be attrib-
uted to a number of architectural features, commonly
found in RISC microprocessors. To begin with, the
PIC17CXXX uses a modified Harvard architecture.
This architecture has the program and data accessed
from separate memories. So, the device has a program
memory bus and a data memory bus. This improves
bandwidth over traditional von Neumann architecture,
where program and data are fetched from the same
memory (accesses over the same bus). Separating
program and data memory further allows instructions to
be sized differently than the 8-bit wide data word.
PIC17CXXX opcodes are 16-bits wide, enabling single
word instructions. The full 16-bit wide program memory
bus fetches a 16-bit instruction in a single cycle. A two-
stage pipeline overlaps fetch and execution of instruc-
tions. Consequently, all instructions execute in a single
cycle (121 ns @ 33 MHz), except for program branches
and two special instructions that transfer data between
program and data memory.
The PIC17CXXX can address up to 64K x 16 of pro-
gram memory space.
The PIC17C752 and PIC17C762 integrate 8K x 16 of
EPROM program memory on-chip.
The PIC17C756A and PIC17C766 integrate 16K x 16
EPROM program memory on-chip.
A simplified block diagram is shown in Figure 3-1. The
descriptions of the device pins are listed in Table 3-1.
Program execution can be internal only (Microcontrol-
ler or Protected Microcontroller mode), external only
(Microprocessor mode), or both (Extended Microcon-
troller mode). Extended Microcontroller mode does not
allow code protection.
The PIC17CXXX can directly or indirectly address its
register files or data memory. All special function regis-
ters, including the Program Counter (PC) and Working
Register (WREG), are mapped in data memory. The
PIC17CXXX has an orthogonal (symmetrical) instruction
set that makes it possible to carry out any operation on
any register using any addressing mode. This symmetri-
cal nature and lack of ‘special optimal situations’ make
programming with the PIC17CXXX simple, yet efficient.
In addition, the learning curve is reduced significantly.
One of the PIC17CXXX family architectural enhance-
ments from the PIC16CXX family, allows two file regis-
ters to be used in some two operand instructions. This
allows data to be moved directly between two registers
without going through the WREG register, thus increas-
ing performance and decreasing program memory
usage.
The PIC17CXXX devices contain an 8-bit ALU and
working register. The ALU is a general purpose arith-
metic unit. It performs arithmetic and Boolean functions
between data in the working register and any register
file.

ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW
The WREG register is an 8-bit working register used for
ALU operations.
All PIC17CXXX devices have an 8 x 8 hardware multi-
plier. This multiplier generates a 16-bit result in a single
cycle.
The ALU is 8-bits wide and capable of addition, sub-
traction, shift and logical operations. Unless otherwise
mentioned, arithmetic operations are two's comple-
ment in nature.
Depending on the instruction executed, the ALU may
affect the values of the Carry (C), Digit Carry (DC), Zero
(Z) and Overflow (OV) bits in the ALUSTA register. The
C and DC bits operate as a borrow and digit borrow out
bit, respectively, in subtraction. See the SUBLW and
SUBWF instructions for examples.
Signed arithmetic is comprised of a magnitude and a
sign bit. The overflow bit indicates if the magnitude
overflows and causes the sign bit to change state. That
is, if the result of 8-bit signed operations is greater than
127 (7Fh), or less than -128 (80h).
Signed math can have greater than 7-bit values (mag-
nitude), if more than one byte is used. The overflow bit
only operates on bit6 (MSb of magnitude) and bit7 (sign
bit) of each byte value in the ALU. That is, the overflow
bit is not useful if trying to implement signed math
where the magnitude, for example, is 11-bits.
If the signed math values are greater than 7-bits (such
as 15-, 24-, or 31-bit), the algorithm must ensure that
the low order bytes of the signed value ignore the over-
flow status bit.
Example 3-1 shows two cases of doing signed arith-
metic. The Carry (C) bit and the Overflow (OV) bit are the
most important status bits for signed math operations.
