PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
1.0
DEVICE OVERVIEW
This document contains device-specific information for
the following devices:
This family introduces a new line of low-voltage LCD
microcontrollers with Universal Serial Bus (USB). It
combines all the main traditional advantage of all
PIC18 microcontrollers, namely, high computational
performance and a rich feature set at an extremely
competitive price point. These features make the
PIC18F97J94 family a logical choice for many
high-performance applications, where cost is a primary
consideration.

Core Features
1.1.1
TECHNOLOGY
All of the devices in the PIC18F97J94 family incorporate
a range of features that can significantly reduce power
consumption during operation. Key items include:
• Alternate Run Modes: By clocking the controller 
from the Timer1 source or the Internal RC oscilla-
tor, power consumption during code execution 
can be reduced.
• Multiple Idle Modes: The controller can also run 
with its CPU core disabled but the peripherals still 
active. In these states, power consumption can be 
reduced even further.
• On-the-Fly Mode Switching: The power-managed 
modes are invoked by user code during operation, 
allowing the user to incorporate power-saving ideas 
into their application’s software design.
• XLP: An extra low-power Sleep, BOR, RTCC and 
Watchdog Timer.
1.1.2
OSCILLATOR OPTIONS AND 
FEATURES
All of the devices in the PIC18F97J94 family offer differ-
ent oscillator options, allowing users a range of choices
in developing application hardware. These include:
• Two Crystal modes (HS, MS)
• One External Clock mode (EC)
• A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier, 
which allows clock speeds of up to 64 MHz.
• A fast Internal Oscillator (FRC) block that provides 
an 8 MHz clock (±0.15% accuracy) with Active 
Clock Tuning (ACT) from USB or SOSC source.
- Offers multiple divider options from 8 MHz to 
500 kHz
- Frees the two oscillator pins for use as 
additional general purpose I/O
• A separate Low-Power Internal RC Oscillator 
(LPRC) (31 kHz nominal) for low-power, 
timing-insensitive applications.
The internal oscillator block provides a stable reference
source that gives the family additional features for
robust operation:
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM): This option 
constantly monitors the main clock source against a 
reference signal provided by the internal oscillator. 
If a clock failure occurs, the controller is switched to 
the internal oscillator, allowing for continued 
low-speed operation or a safe application 
shutdown.
• Two-Speed Start-up (IESO): This option allows 
the internal oscillator to serve as the clock source 
from Power-on Reset, or wake-up from Sleep 
mode, until the primary clock source is available.
