PIC18F2221/2321/4221/4321
The PIC18F2221/2321/4221/4321 devices that you
have received conform functionally to the current
Device Data Sheet (DS39689F), except for the anom-
alies described in this document.
The silicon issues discussed in the following pages are
for silicon revisions with the Device and Revision IDs
listed in Table 1. The silicon issues are summarized in
Table 2.
The errata described in this document will be
addressed in future revisions of the PIC18F2221/2321/
4221/4321 silicon.
Data Sheet clarifications and corrections start on page 4,
following the discussion of silicon issues.
The silicon revision level can be identified using the
current version of MPLAB
®
IDE and Microchip’s pro-
grammers, debuggers, and emulation tools, which are
available at the Microchip corporate web site
(www.microchip.com).
For example, to identify the silicon revision level using
MPLAB IDE in conjunction with MPLAB ICD 2 or
PICkit™ 3:
1. Using the appropriate interface, connect the
device to the MPLAB ICD 2 programmer/debug-
ger or PICkit™ 3.
2. From the main menu in MPLAB IDE, select Con-
figure>Select Device, and then select the target
part number in the dialog box.
3. Select the MPLAB hardware tool (Debug-
ger>Select Tool).
4. Perform a “Connect” operation to the device
(Debugger>Connect
). Depending on the devel-
opment tool used, the part number and Device
Revision ID value appear in the Output window.
The DEVREV values for the various PIC18F2221/2321/
4221/4321 silicon revisions are shown in Table 1.
Note: This document summarizes all silicon
errata issues from all revisions of silicon,
previous as well as current. Only the
issues indicated in the last column of
Table 2 apply to the current silicon revision
(B3).
Note: If you are unable to extract the silicon
revision level, please contact your local
Microchip sales office for assistance.
