areas. This allows faster execution as the address and data busses are separate and
do not have to do double duty.
Data Memory is held in file registers. Instructions referring to file registers use 7 bits,
so only 128 file registers can be addressed. Multiple file registers are arranged into
“pages”. Two extra bits RP0 and RP1 (in the Status register) allow accessing multiple
pages. These two bits effectively become the top two bits of the file register address.
The additional pages may or may not be implemented, depending on the device.
Mid-range devices reserve the first 32 addresses of each page for Special Function
Registers (SFRs). SFRs are how the program interacts with the peripherals. The
controls and data registers are memory mapped into the SFR space. Addresses above
0x20 to the end of each page are General Purpose Registers (GPRs), where program
variables may be stored.
Some frequently used registers may be accessed from any bank. For example, the
Status register is always available no matter which bank is selected via the RP bits. The
last 16 bytes (0x70-0x7F) may also be accessed from any bank.
Program Memory is accessed via a 13-bit Program Counter (PC). The lower 8 bits are
accessible via SFR (PCL), and the upper 5 are at a PCLATH. See the
PIC16F685/687/689/690 Data Sheet’s (DS41262) Section on PCL and PCLATH for
more details on the PC. PCLATH becomes important when program memory size
exceeds 1k instructions, and also for the table look-up in Lesson 12.

otherwise noted, the lessons in this manual use the Internal Oscillator running at 4 MHz.
Most instructions follow one of three formats: Byte oriented instructions, Bit oriented
instructions and Literal instructions.
Byte instructions contain 7-bit data address, a destination bit, and 6-bit op code. The
data address plus the RP0 and RP1 bits create a 9-bit data memory address for one
operand. The other operand is the Working register (called W or Wreg). After the
instruction executes, the destination bit (d) specifies whether the result will be stored in
W or back in the original file register. For example:
adds the contents of Wreg and data, with the result going back into data.
Bit instructions operate on a specific bit within a file register. They contain 7 bits of data
address, 3-bit number and the remaining 4 bits are op code. These instructions may
set or clear a specific bit within a file register. They may also be used to test a specific
bit within a file register. For example:
set the RP0 bit in the Status register.
Literal instructions contain the data operand within the instruction. The Wreg becomes
the other operand. Calls and GOTO’s use 11 bits as a literal address.
Moves the ASCII value of ‘A’ (0x41) into Wreg.
