LOW-VOLTAGE ICSP
PROGRAMMING
This document includes the
programming specifications for the
following devices:
In Low-Voltage ICSP mode, these devices can be
programmed using a single VDD source in the
operating range. The MCLR/VPP pin does not have to
be brought to a different voltage, but can instead be left
at the normal operating voltage.

OVERVIEW
1.1.2.1
Single-Supply ICSP Programming
The device can be programmed using either the high-
voltage In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™)
method or the low-voltage ICSP method.
The LVP bit in Configuration Word 2 enables single-
supply (low-voltage) ICSP programming. The LVP bit
defaults to a ‘1’ (enabled) from the factory. The LVP bit
may only be programmed to ‘0’ by entering the High-
Voltage ICSP mode, where the MCLR/VPP pin is raised
to VIHH. Once the LVP bit is programmed to a ‘0’, only
the High-Voltage ICSP mode is available and only the
High-Voltage ICSP mode can be used to program the
device.

Hardware Requirements
1.1.1
HIGH-VOLTAGE ICSP
PROGRAMMING
In High-Voltage ICSP mode, the device requires two
programmable power supplies: one for VDD and one for
the MCLR/VPP pin.
Note 1: The High-Voltage ICSP mode is always
available, regardless of the state of the
LVP bit, by applying VIHH to the MCLR/
VPP pin.
2: While in Low-Voltage ICSP mode, MCLR
is always enabled, regardless of the
MCLRE bit, and the port pin can no
longer be used as a general purpose
input.
1.2
Pin Utilization
Five pins are needed for ICSP programming. The pins
are listed in Table 1-1.

Note 1: The programming high voltage is internally generated. To activate the Program/Verify mode, high voltage
needs to be applied to MCLR input. Since the MCLR is used for a level source, MCLR does not draw any
significant current.
