PIC18F2410/2510/4410/4510
The PIC18F2410/2510/4410/4510 Rev. B3 parts you
have received conform functionally to the Device Data
Sheet (DS39636C), except for the anomalies
described below. Any Data Sheet Clarification issues
related to the PIC18F2410/2510/4410/4510 will be
reported in a separate Data Sheet errata. Please check
the Microchip web site for any existing issues.
The following silicon errata apply only to
PIC18F2410/2510/4410/4510 devices with these
Device/Revision IDs:
All of the issues listed here will be addressed in future
revisions of the PIC18F2410/2510/4410/4510 silicon.
1. Module: MSSP
In SPI Slave mode with slave select enabled
(SSPM<3:0> = 0100), the minimum time between
the falling edge of the SS pin and first SCK edge
is greater than specified in parameter 70 in
Table 25-16 and Table 25-17 of the above
referenced data sheet.
The updated specification is shown in bold in
Table 1.
Work around
None.
Date Codes that pertain to this issue:
All engineering and production devices.
2. Module: MSSP (SPI Mode)
When the SPI is using Timer2/2 as the clock
source, a shorter than expected SCK pulse may
occur on the first bit of the transmitted/received
data (Figure 1).
FIGURE 1: SCK PULSE VARIATION
USING TIMER2/2
Work around
To avoid producing the short pulse, turn off Timer2
and clear the TMR2 register, load the SSPBUF
with the data to transmit and then turn Timer2 back
on. Refer to Example 1 for sample code.
