TABLE A-21: PIC16F917 PIN AND PORT COMPARISON
A.3 LED DISPLAY
Two green LEDs are connected to RC3 and RC4 of U1A through the J14 pins, 1, 2 and
7, 8 (outer ends), respectively.
One green LED is provided to determine whether there is power to the LCD 2
Demonstration Board (LED on) or not (LED off).
A.4 CHARGE PUMP AND VLCAP
For charge pump mode operation in PIC18F85J90 and PIC18F87J90 devices, it is
required that RC3 and RC4 of U1A connect to charge pump capacitor C7 through the
J14 pins, 3, 4 and 5, 6 (inner pins), respectively.
A.5 RESISTIVE LADDER VERSUS CHARGE PUMP
The switch, S6, allows the connection of either the resistor ladder or the capacitors to
the BIAS pins to generate the BIAS voltages for the LCD operation. For the Charge
Pump mode operation in PIC18F85J90 and PIC18F87J90 devices, it is required that
the S6 switch is flipped towards C and the VLCAP is connected through the inner
jumpers of J14. For the resistor ladder, S6 must be flipped towards R. The R45
potentiometer controls the contrast to the LCD in the Resistive Ladder mode.
A.5.1 Jumper JP21
When jumper JP21 is on, the LCDBIAS0 is physically tied to ground. The jumper needs
to be on for PIC18F85J90 and PIC18F87J90 devices when the bias voltages are
generated through the resistor ladder.

Legend: Unshaded cells indicate a perfect match between the PIM and the glass.
Shaded cells indicate the pins that are remapped to the corresponding pin on the PIM.
Note 1: For the PIC18F85J90 and PIC18F87J90 PIM, the RG2 and RG3 pins are
connected to RC3 and RC4 of U1A, respectively.
2: For the PIC16F17 PIM, the RD1 and RD2 pins are connected to RC3 and
RC4 of U1A, respectively.
