PIC18FXX2
The PIC18FXX2 parts you have received conform
functionally to the Device Data Sheet (DS39564B),
except for the anomalies described below.
Microchip intends to address all issues listed here in
future revisions of the PIC18FXX2 silicon.
The following silicon errata apply only to
PIC18FXX2 devices with these Device/Revision
IDs:
1. Module: Program Memory
(Code Protection)
Enabling code protection for any program memory
block will also enable write protection for that
block. This would prevent even legitimate self-
write attempts by the microcontroller, such as
those used in a bootloader, in any code-protected
block.
Work around
Do not enable code protection for any block that
may need to be rewritten using the table write
instructions.
Date Codes that pertain to this issue:
All engineering samples and devices with date
codes up to and including 0211 (Year 2002, Work
Week 11).
2. Module: Program Memory
Data corruption may occur during a table write
operation if a peripheral interrupt also occurs. This
happens only when the interrupt enable bit (PIE or
INTCON register) for the corresponding interrupt
has also been set.
Work around
Before executing any table write instructions, dis-
able ALL peripheral interrupts. This is best done by
clearing all interrupt enable bits in the three Inter-
rupt Control registers (INTCON, INTCON2 and
INTCON3) and both Peripheral Interrupt Enable
registers (PIE1 and PIE2). After the table write is
complete, restore all INTCON and PIE registers to
their pre-instruction state.
Date Codes that pertain to this issue:
All engineering and production devices.
Part Number Device ID Revision ID
PIC18F242 00 0100 100 00100
PIC18F252 00 0100 000 00100
PIC18F442 00 0100 101 00100
PIC18F452 00 0100 001 00100
The Device IDs (DEVID1 and DEVID2) are located at
addresses 3FFFFEh:3FFFFFh in the device’s
configuration space. They are shown in hexadecimal
in the format “DEVID2 DEVID1”.
