PIC16F87XA
The PIC16F87XA Rev. B7 parts you have received
conform functionally to the Device Data Sheet
(DS39582B), except for the anomalies described
below.
All the issues listed here will be addressed in future
revisions of the PIC16F87XA silicon.
The following silicon errata apply only to
PIC16F87XA devices with these Device/Revision
IDs:
1. Module: A/D (Operation)
The ADC is disabled when ADCON1<3:0> = 011x
(all inputs digital) and CMCON<2:0> = 111
(comparators are off). This is a special case that
conflicts with the second sentence of Note 1 on
page 131 of the device data sheet: “Pins
configured as digital inputs will convert an analog
input.”
Work around
For the ADC module to be enabled, it is necessary
to either:
1. Enable the comparators (CMCON<2:0> 111);
or
2. Configure at least one ADC channel as an
analog input (ADCON1<3:0> 011x).
Clarifications/Corrections to the Data
Sheet:
In the Device Data Sheet (DS39582B), the following
clarifications and corrections should be noted.
1. Document Cover
In the printed version of the device data sheet, the
cover lists the following as included devices:
•PIC16F873A
•PIC16F874A
•PIC18F876A
•PIC18F877A
In fact, this data sheet only describes PIC16F mid-
range devices. The list should read (corrections in
bold):
•PIC16F873A
•PIC16F874A
•PIC16F876A
•PIC16F877A
2. Module: Instruction Set
In compositing the data sheet for publication, one
page of Section 15.2 “Instruction Descriptions”
was omitted. The content of this page is identical to
that of page 162 of the original version of the data
sheet (DS39582A). The syntax of the 6 instructions
on this page is included and correctly summarized
in Table 15-2 (PIC16F87XA Instruction Set).
The content of the omitted page (without the
header and footer of the original document) is
reproduced on the following page. This should be
regarded as an insert between the existing pages
163 and 164 of DS39582B.
