Extract MCU PIC18F6722 Code from its memory and the firmware will be exactly the same as original one, which can be used to make a perfect clone when copy it to other blank Microcontroller;
Communications: The PIC18F8722 family incorporates a range of serial communication peripherals, including 2 independent Enhanced USARTs and 2 Master SSP modules capable of both SPI and I2C (Master and Slave) modes of operation. Also, one of the general purpose I/O ports can be reconfigured as an 8-bit Parallel Slave Port for direct processor-to-processor communications.
· CCP Modules: All devices in the family incorporate two Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) modules and three Enhanced CCP (ECCP) modules to maximize flexibility in control applications if Extract MCU. Up to four different time bases may be used to perform several different operations at once. Each of the three ECCP modules offer up to four PWM outputs, allowing for a total of 12 PWMs. The ECCPs also offer many beneficial features, including polarity selection, Programmable Dead-Time, Auto-Shutdown and Restart and Half-Bridge and Full-Bridge Output modes.
· Self-Programmability: These devices can write to their own program memory spaces under internal software control. By using a bootloader routine located in the protected boot block at the top of program memory when readout MCU code, it becomes possible to create an application that can update itself in the field.
· Extended Instruction Set: The PIC18F8722 family introduces an optional extension to the PIC18 instruction set, which adds 8 new instructions and an Indexed Addressing mode. This extension, enabled as a device configuration option, has been specifically designed to optimize re-entrant application code originally developed in high-level languages, such as C.
· 10-bit A/D Converter: This module incorporates programmable acquisition time, allowing for a channel to be selected and a conversion to be initiated without waiting for a sampling period and thus, reduce code overhead.
· Extended Watchdog Timer (WDT): This enhanced version incorporates a 16-bit prescaler, allowing an extended time-out range that is stable across operating voltage and temperature. See Section 28.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for time-out periods.
Devices in the PIC18F8722 family are available in 64-pin and 80-pin packages. Block diagrams for the two groups are shown in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2. The devices are differentiated from each other in five ways:
Flash program memory (48 Kbytes for PIC18F6527/8527 devices, 64 Kbytes for PIC18F6622/8622 devices, 96 Kbytes for PIC18F6627/8627 devices and 128 Kbytes for PIC18F6722/8722).
A/D channels (12 for 64-pin devices, 16 for 80-pin devices). I/O ports (7 bidirectional ports on 64-pin devices, 9 bidirectional ports on 80-pin devices). External Memory Bus, configurable for 8 and 16-bit operation, is available on PIC18F6722 devices.
Like all Microchip PIC18 devices, members of the PIC18F8722 family are available as both standard and low-voltage devices. Standard devices with Enhanced Flash memory, designated with an “F” in the part number (such as PIC18F6627), accommodate an operating VDD range of 4.2V to 5.5V. Low-voltage parts, designated by “LF” (such as PIC18LF6627), function over an extended VDD range of 2.0V to 5.5V.
