PIC12(L)F1501 Family
Silicon Errata and Data Sheet Clarification
The PIC12(L)F1501 family devices that you have
received conform functionally to the current Device Data
Sheet (DS41615A), except for the anomalies described
in this document.
The silicon issues discussed in the following pages are
for silicon revisions with the Device and Revision IDs
listed in
Table 1.
The silicon issues are summarized in
Table 2.
The errata described in this document will be addressed
in future revisions of the PIC12(L)F1501 silicon.
Note:
This document summarizes all silicon
errata issues from all revisions of silicon,
previous as well as current. Only the
issues indicated in the last column of
Table 2
apply to the current silicon
revision (A0).
For example, to identify the silicon revision level using
MPLAB IDE in conjunction with MPLAB ICD 3 or
PICkit™ 3:
1.
Using the appropriate interface, connect the
device to the MPLAB ICD 3 programmer/
debugger or PICkit™ 3.
From the main menu in MPLAB IDE, select
Configure>Select Device,
and then select the
target part number in the dialog box.
Select
the
MPLAB
hardware
tool
(Debugger>Select
Tool).
Perform a “Connect” operation to the device
(Debugger>Connect). Depending on the
development tool used, the part number
and
Device Revision ID value appear in the
Output
window.
Note:
If you are unable to extract the silicon
revision level, please contact your local
Microchip sales office for assistance.

Data Sheet clarifications and corrections start on
page 4,
following the discussion of silicon issues.
The silicon revision level can be identified using the
current version of MPLAB
®
IDE and Microchip’s
programmers, debuggers, and emulation tools, which
are available at the Microchip corporate web site
(www.microchip.com).
The DEVREV values for the various PIC12(L)F1501
silicon revisions are shown in

Silicon Errata Issues
Note:
This document summarizes all silicon
errata issues from all revisions of silicon,
previous as well as current. Only the
issues indicated by the shaded column in
the following tables apply to the current
silicon revision (A0).
1. Module: Oscillator
1.1 OSCSTAT bits: HFIOFR and HFIOFS
When HFINTOSC is selected, the HFIOFR and
HFIOFS bits will become set when the oscillator
becomes ready and stable. Once these bits are
set, they become “stuck”, indicating that
HFINTOSC is always ready and stable. If the
HFINTOSC is disabled, the bits fail to be cleared.
Work around
None.

X
1.2 Clock Switching
When switching clock sources between INTOSC
clock source and an external clock source, one
corrupted instruction may be executed after the
switch occurs.
Work around
When switching from an external oscillator clock
source, first switch to 16 MHz HFINTOSC. Once
running at 16 MHz HFINTOSC, configure IRCF to
run at desired internal oscillator frequency.
When switching from an internal oscillator
(INTOSC) to an external oscillator clock source,
first switch to HFINTOSC High-Power mode (8
MHz or 16 MHz). Once running from HFINTOSC,
switch to the external oscillator clock source.
