20.2.7
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the device
to continue to operate even in the event of an oscillator
failure. The FSCM function is enabled by appropriately
programming the FCKSM Configuration bits (clock
switch and monitor selection bits) in the FOSC Device
Configuration register. If the FSCM function is enabled,
the LPRC internal oscillator runs at all times (except
during Sleep mode) and is not subject to control by the
SWDTEN bit.
In the event of an oscillator failure, the FSCM
generates a clock failure trap event and switches the
system clock over to the FRC oscillator. The user then
has the option to either attempt to restart the oscillator
or execute a controlled shutdown. The user may decide
to treat the trap as a warm Reset by simply loading the
Reset address into the oscillator fail trap vector. In this
event, the CF (Clock Fail) Status bit (OSCCON<3>) is
also set whenever a clock failure is recognized.
In the event of a clock failure, the WDT is unaffected
and continues to run on the LPRC clock.
If the oscillator has a very slow start-up time coming out
of POR, BOR or Sleep, it is possible that the PWRT
timer will expire before the oscillator has started. In
such cases, the FSCM is activated and the FSCM ini-
tiates a clock failure trap, and the COSC<2:0> bits are
loaded with FRC oscillator selection. This effectively
shuts off the original oscillator that was trying to start.
The user may detect this situation and restart the
oscillator in the clock fail trap ISR.
Upon a clock failure detection, the FSCM module
initiates a clock switch to the FRC oscillator as follows:
1.
2.
3.
For the purpose of clock switching, the clock sources
are sectioned into four groups:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The user can switch between these functional groups
but cannot switch between options within a group. If the
primary group is selected, then the choice within the
group is always determined by the FPR<4:0> Configu-
ration bits.

The COSC bits (OSCCON<14:12>) are loaded
with the FRC oscillator selection value.
CF bit is set (OSCCON<3>).
OSWEN control bit (OSCCON<0>) is cleared.

FAIL-SAFE CLOCK MONITOR
The OSCCON register holds the control and Status bits
related to clock switching.
• COSC<2:0>: Read-only Status bits always reflect
• NOSC<2:0>: Control bits which are written to
• LOCK: The LOCK Status bit indicates a PLL lock.
• CF: Read-only Status bit indicating if a clock fail
• OSWEN: Control bit changes from a ‘0’ to a ‘1’
If Configuration bits FCKSM<1:0> = 1x, then the clock
switching and Fail-Safe Clock monitoring functions are
disabled. This is the default Configuration bit setting.
If clock switching is disabled, then the FOS<2:0> and
FPR<4:0> bits directly control the oscillator selection
and the COSC<2:0> bits do not control the clock
selection. However, these bits reflect the clock source
selection.
20.2.8
A write to the OSCCON register is intentionally made
difficult because it controls clock switching and clock
scaling.
To write to the OSCCON low byte, the following code
sequence must be executed without any other
instructions in between:
Byte write is allowed for one instruction cycle. Write the
desired value or use bit manipulation instruction.
To write to the OSCCON high byte, the following
instructions must be executed without any other
instructions in between:
Byte write is allowed for one instruction cycle. Write the
desired value or use bit manipulation instruction.
Byte Write “0x46” to OSCCON low
Byte Write “0x57” to OSCCON low
Byte Write “0x78” to OSCCON high
Byte Write “0x9A” to OSCCON high

when a clock transition sequence is initiated.
Clearing the OSWEN control bit aborts a clock
transition in progress (used for hang-up
situations).
Note:
NOSC<2:0> are both loaded with the Config-
uration bit values FOS<2:0>.
The application should not attempt to
switch to a clock of frequency lower than
100 KHz when the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
is enabled. If such clock switching is
performed, the device may generate an
oscillator fail trap and switch to the Fast RC
oscillator.
