5.2.1
The microcontroller clock input, whether from an
internal or external source, is internally divided by four
to generate four non-overlapping quadrature clocks
(Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4). Internally, the program counter is
incremented on every Q1; the instruction is fetched
from the program memory and latched into the Instruc-
tion Register (IR) during Q4. The instruction is decoded
and executed during the following Q1 through Q4. The
clocks and instruction execution flow are shown in
Figure 5-3.

PIC18 Instruction Cycle
All instructions are single cycle, except for any program branches. These take two cycles since the fetch
instruction is “flushed” from the pipeline while the new instruction is being fetched and then executed.

5.2.2
An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles: Q1
through Q4. The instruction fetch and execute are pipe-
lined in such a manner that a fetch takes one instruction
cycle, while the decode and execute takes another
instruction cycle. However, due to the pipelining, each
instruction effectively executes in one cycle. If an
instruction causes the program counter to change (e.g.,
GOTO), then two cycles are required to complete the
instruction (Example 5-3).
A fetch cycle begins with the Program Counter (PC)
incrementing in Q1.
In the execution cycle, the fetched instruction is latched
into the Instruction Register (IR) in cycle Q1. This
instruction is then decoded and executed during the
Q2, Q3 and Q4 cycles. Data memory is read during Q2
(operand read) and written during Q4 (destination
write).
