1.1.2.2 Long Bit Names
Long bit names are constructed by adding a peripheral
abbreviation prefix to the short name. The prefix is
unique to the peripheral, thereby making every long bit
name unique. The long bit name for the COG1 enable bit
is the COG1 prefix, G1, appended with the enable bit
short name, EN, resulting in the unique bit name G1EN.
Long bit names are useful in both C and assembly pro-
grams. For example, in C, the COG1CON0 enable bit
can be set with the G1EN = 1 instruction. In assembly,
this bit can be set with the BSF COG1CON0,G1EN
instruction.
1.1.2.3 Bit Fields
Bit fields are two or more adjacent bits in the same
register. Bit fields adhere only to the short bit naming
convention. For example, the three Least Significant
bits of the COG1CON0 register contain the mode
control bits. The short name for this field is MD. There
is no long bit name variant. Bit field access is only
possible in C programs. The following example
demonstrates a C program instruction for setting the
COG1 to the Push-Pull mode:
COG1CON0bits.MD = 0x5;
Individual bits in a bit field can also be accessed with
long and short bit names. Each bit is the field name
appended with the number of the bit position within the
field. For example, the Most Significant mode bit has
the short bit name, MD2, and the long bit name is
G1MD2. The following two examples demonstrate
assembly program sequences for setting the COG1 to
Push-Pull mode:
Example 1:
MOVLW ~(1<<G1MD1)
ANDWF COG1CON0,F
MOVLW 1<<G1MD2 | 1<<G1MD0
IORWF COG1CON0,F
Example 2:
BSF COG1CON0,G1MD2
BCF COG1CON0,G1MD1
BSF COG1CON0,G1MD0
1.1.3 REGISTER AND BIT NAMING
EXCEPTIONS
1.1.3.1 Status, Interrupt and Mirror Bits
Status, interrupt enables, interrupt flags and mirror bits
are contained in registers that span more than one
peripheral. In these cases, the bit name shown is
unique so there is no prefix or short name variant.
1.1.3.2 Legacy Peripherals
There are some peripherals that do not strictly adhere
to these naming conventions. Peripherals that have
existed for many years and are present in almost every
device are the exceptions. These exceptions were
necessary to limit the adverse impact of the new
conventions on legacy code. Peripherals that do
adhere to the new convention will include a table in the
registers section indicating the long name prefix for
each peripheral instance. Peripherals that fall into the
exception category will not have this table. These
peripherals include, but are not limited to, the following:
• EUSART
• MSSP
