Problem using MCLR as digital input on PIC18F2320
PostPosted: Thu Oct 29, 2009 7:29 am     Reply with quote

Hi,

For some reason I cannot use pin1/MCLR/RE3 on PIC18F2320 as digital input. I have set the NOMCLR fuse and defined the port bit. See my code.

I have connected a LED to RA7 for test, and when I toggle the MCLR input voltage level (GND and VDD), nothing happens.

I have read about the MCLR/RE3 input in the datasheet over and over again, and I can't see what I do wrong.


Code:
#include <18F2320.h>

#FUSES NOWDT                    //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES WDT128                   //Watch Dog Timer uses 1:128 Postscale
#FUSES INTRC_IO                 //Internal RC Osc, no CLKOUT
#FUSES NOFCMEN                  //Fail-safe clock monitor disabled
#FUSES NOBROWNOUT               //No brownout reset
#FUSES BORV20                   //Brownout reset at 2.0V
#FUSES PUT                      //Power Up Timer
#FUSES NOCPD                    //No EE protection
#FUSES NOSTVREN                 //Stack full/underflow will not 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 NOWRTD                   //Data EEPROM not write protected
#FUSES NOIESO                   //Internal External Switch Over mode disabled
#FUSES NOEBTR                   //Memory not protected from table reads
#FUSES NOEBTRB                  //Boot block not protected from table reads
#FUSES NOMCLR                   //Master Clear pin used for I/O
#FUSES NOPROTECT                //Code not protected from reading
#FUSES NOCPB                    //No Boot Block code protection
#FUSES NOWRTB                   //Boot block not write protected
#FUSES NOWRTC                   //configuration not registers write protected
#FUSES NOPBADEN                 //PORTB pins are configured as digital I/O on RESET

#byte PORTE = 0xF84
#bit RE3 = PORTE.3 // MCLR input pin


Code:
void main()
{
   setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS|VSS_VDD);
   setup_adc(ADC_OFF|ADC_TAD_MUL_0);
   setup_spi(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_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
   setup_vref(FALSE);
   setup_oscillator(OSC_8MHZ|OSC_INTRC);

   TRISA = 0b00000000;
   TRISB = 0b00000000;
   TRISC = 0b00000000;
   
   while(1)
   {
      RA7 = RE3;
   }
}

The 18F2320 data sheet doesn't show that the MCLR pin can be a normal
digital input pin.
http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/39599g.pdf

Look at this table on page 11 (page 13 in the Acrobat reader):
Quote:
TABLE 1-2: PIC18F2220/2320 PINOUT I/O DESCRIPTIONS

It says that the pin can be either:
Quote:

Master Clear input (i.e., MCLR reset pin)
or
Programming voltage input (i.e., for ICD2, PicStart-Plus, ICD-U40, etc.)

Maybe you have an older data sheet. Look at this data sheet errata,
on the upper left side, on page 4:
http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/80156f.pdf
It says you can't use RE3 as an input on the 18F2320.

PCM, you are absolutely right, I have an older datasheet on my computer (2003).

Well, I'll have to find another PIC with 24 outputs and MCLR as input - or maybe I'll pick a 40-pin device.

Thanks for your help! I'll go update all my Microchip datasheets now to avoid such problems again.

Thanks again!
