PIC18F8722 PORT H I/O "squashes" PIN C5 signal
PostPosted: Tue Jun 16, 2009 4:39 pm     Reply with quote

PCH V4.079

I have a stubborn issue with PORTH I/O effecting pin C5 on a PIC18F8722. C5 works fine unless any I/O on PORTH comes first. I thought it was an SPI issue, but I finally cut the code down to the following.

Code:
#include <18F8722.h>
#device ICD=TRUE
#device adc=8

#FUSES NOWDT                    //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES WDT128                   //Watch Dog Timer uses 1:128 Postscale
#FUSES HS                       //High speed Osc (> 4mhz for PCM/PCH) (>10mhz for PCD)
#FUSES NOPROTECT                //Code not protected from reading
#FUSES IESO                     //Internal External Switch Over mode enabled
#FUSES NOBROWNOUT               //No brownout reset
#FUSES BORV25                   //Brownout reset at 2.5V
#FUSES NOPUT                    //No Power Up Timer
#FUSES NOCPD                    //No EE protection
#FUSES STVREN                   //Stack full/underflow will cause reset
#FUSES NODEBUG                  //No Debug mode for ICD
#FUSES NOLVP                    //No low voltage prgming, B3(PIC16) or B5(PIC18) used for I/O
#FUSES NOWRT                    //Program memory not write protected
#FUSES NOCPB                    //No Boot Block code protection
#FUSES NOEBTRB                  //Boot block not protected from table reads
#FUSES NOEBTR                   //Memory not protected from table reads
#FUSES NOWRTD                   //Data EEPROM not write protected
#FUSES NOWRTC                   //configuration not registers write protected
#FUSES NOWRTB                   //Boot block not write protected
#FUSES FCMEN                    //Fail-safe clock monitor enabled
#FUSES LPT1OSC                  //Timer1 configured for low-power operation
#FUSES MCLR                     //Master Clear pin enabled
#FUSES NOXINST                  //Extended set extension and Indexed Addressing mode disabled (Legacy mode)
#FUSES MCU                      //Microcontroller Mode
#FUSES NOWAIT                   //Wait selections unavailable for Table Reads or Table Writes
#FUSES BW16                     //16-bit external bus mode
#FUSES ABW20                    //20-bit Address bus
#FUSES ECCPE                    //Enhanced CCP PWM outpts multiplexed with RE6 thorugh RE3

#use delay(clock=10000000)
#use rs232(baud=19200,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,bits=8)


and ....

Code:
#include "main.h"

void main()
{
   setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS|VSS_VDD);
   setup_adc(ADC_OFF|ADC_TAD_MUL_0);
   setup_psp(PSP_DISABLED);
   setup_spi(SPI_SS_DISABLED);
   setup_spi2(SPI_SS_DISABLED);
   setup_wdt(WDT_OFF);
   setup_timer_0(RTCC_INTERNAL);
   setup_timer_1(T1_DISABLED);
   setup_timer_2(T2_DISABLED,0,1);
   setup_timer_3(T3_DISABLED|T3_DIV_BY_1);
   setup_timer_4(T4_DISABLED,0,1);
   setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
   setup_vref(FALSE);

   // PIN_C5 toggles (below) if this line is commented-out
   // Any INPUT or OUTPUT on a PORTH pin "squashes" C5
   output_high(PIN_H0);
   
   while(1){
      output_bit(PIN_C3, 1);
      output_bit(PIN_C5, 1);
      output_bit(PIN_B3, 1);
      delay_ms(500);
      output_bit(PIN_C3, 0);
      output_bit(PIN_C5, 0);
      output_bit(PIN_B3, 0);
      delay_ms(500);
   }
}


I have checked several boards. There are no shorts or tracking problems. In the example above C3 and B3 toggle just fine. But C5 is high at ~0.7 volts and low at 0.

Any suggestions would be very welcome (deadline looming / project stuck).

Thanks!

setup_spi(SPI_SS_DISABLED);
setup_spi2(SPI_SS_DISABLED);

Get rid of these two lines and see what happens.

If that doesn't fix it, then try a striped down program, like this:
Code:
#include <18F8722.h>
#fuses HS,NOWDT,PUT,NOBROWNOUT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=10000000)

//=================================
void main()
{
output_high(PIN_H0);
   
while(1)
  {
   output_bit(PIN_C5, 1);
   delay_ms(500);
   output_bit(PIN_C5, 0);
   delay_ms(500);
   }
 
}

Thanks PCM programmer. It turned out to be a short after all.
