PIC16C745/765
The PIC16C745/765 (Rev. A1) parts you have received
conform functionally to the PIC16C745/765 Data Sheet
(DS41124C), except for the anomalies described
below.
All significant issues listed here are addressed by Rev.
A2 of the PIC16C745/765 silicon.
1. Module: USB Transceiver
The first bit in the sync pattern during Microcontroller-
to-host transactions is elongated by approximately
100 ns (see Figure 1). According to Section 7.1.11 of
the USB Specification, Version 1.1, the bit period for a
low speed device can vary 1.5% from 667 ns. This
means the average bit length can vary from 657 ns to
676 ns. Section 7.1.13.1 states, “For low speed trans-
missions, the jitter time for any consecutive differential
data transitions must be within ±25 ns and within
±10 ns for any set of paired differential data
transitions.”
The initial bit from the PIC16C745/765, at approxi-
mately 772 ns in length, violates the consecutive transi-
tion jitter specification by 71 ns to 90 ns, depending on
the actual data rate. It violates the paired data transition
jitter specification by 82 ns to 120 ns, depending on the
actual data rate. Devices based on the PIC16C745/765
are likely to fail the USB Implementer’s Forum Compli-
ance Test due to the jitter violation. However, the elon-
gated bit does not affect the reliability of USB
transactions between current USB host controllers and
the PIC16C745/765. All packets are communicated
successfully between microcontroller and host.

Note: The silicon revision of a specific compo-
nent is identified by its manufacture date
code: YYWW. YY is the year of manufac-
ture and WW is the specific work week. All
material with a date code of 0230 or earlier
is Rev. A1 silicon and subject to this Errata
document. Components with a date code
later than 0230 will be Rev. A2 silicon and
will be covered by a separate Errata docu-
ment. For additional information concern-
ing date codes, refer to the packaging
information section of the PIC16C745/765
Data Sheet (DS41124C)
Note: USB-IF certification is necessary only if
use of the USB logo is desired.
