PIC18F46J50 FAMILY

1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW

This document contains device-specific information for

the following devices:

• PIC18F24J50

• PIC18F25J50

• PIC18F26J50

• PIC18F44J50

• PIC18F45J50

• PIC18F46J50

• PIC18LF24J50

• PIC18LF25J50

• PIC18LF26J50

• PIC18LF44J50

• PIC18LF45J50

• PIC18LF46J50

This family introduces a new line of low-voltage

Universal Serial Bus (USB) microcontrollers with the

main traditional advantage of all PIC18 microcontrollers,

namely, high computational performance and a rich

feature set at an extremely competitive price point.

These features make the PIC18F46J50 family a logical

choice for many high-performance applications, where

cost is a primary consideration.

1.1 Core Features

1.1.1 nanoWatt TECHNOLOGY

All of the devices in the PIC18F46J50 family incorpo-

rate a range of features that can significantly reduce

power consumption during operation. Key features are:

• Alternate Run Modes: By clocking the controller

from the Timer1 source or the internal RC

oscillator, power consumption during code

execution can be reduced by as much as 90%.

• Multiple Idle Modes: The controller can also run

with its CPU core disabled but the peripherals still

active. In these states, power consumption can be

reduced even further, to as little as 4% of normal

operational requirements.

• On-the-Fly Mode Switching: The

power-managed modes are invoked by user code

during operation, allowing the users to incorporate

power-saving ideas into their application’s

software design.

1.1.2 UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB)

Devices in the PIC18F46J50 family incorporate a

fully-featured USB communications module with a

built-in transceiver that is compliant with the “USB

Specification Revision 2.0”. The module supports both

low-speed and full-speed communication for all

supported data transfer types.

1.1.3

OSCILLATOR OPTIONS AND

FEATURES

All of the devices in the PIC18F46J50 family offer five

different oscillator options, allowing users a range of

choices in developing application hardware. These

include:

• Two Crystal modes, using crystals or ceramic

resonators.

• Two External Clock modes, offering the option of

a divide-by-4 clock output.

• An internal oscillator block, which provides an

8 MHz clock and an INTRC source (approxi-

mately 31 kHz, stable over temperature and VDD),

as well as a range of six user-selectable clock

frequencies, between 125 kHz to 4 MHz, for a

total of eight clock frequencies. This option frees

an oscillator pin for use as an additional general

purpose I/O.

• A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier,

available to the high-speed crystal, and external

and internal oscillators, providing a clock speed

up to 48 MHz.

• Dual clock operation, allowing the USB module to

run from a high-frequency oscillator while the rest

of the microcontroller is clocked at a different

frequency.

The internal oscillator block provides a stable reference

source that gives the PIC18F46J50 family additional

features for robust operation:

• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor: This option constantly

monitors the main clock source against a reference

signal provided by the internal oscillator. If a clock

failure occurs, the controller is switched to the

internal oscillator, allowing for continued low-speed

operation or a safe application shutdown.

• Two-Speed Start-up: This option allows the

internal oscillator to serve as the clock source

from Power-on Reset (POR), or wake-up from

Sleep mode, until the primary clock source is

available.

1.1.4 EXPANDED MEMORY

The PIC18F46J50 family provides ample room for

application code, from 16 Kbytes to 64 Kbytes of code

space. The Flash cells for program memory are rated

to last in excess of 10000 erase/write cycles. Data

retention without refresh is conservatively estimated to

be greater than 20 years.

The Flash program memory is readable and writable

during normal operation. The PIC18F46J50 family also

provides plenty of room for dynamic application data

with up to 3.8 Kbytes of data RAM.
