PIC18F2XJXX/4XJXX/
LF2XJXX/LF4XJXX DEVICES AND
THE ON-CHIP VOLTAGE
REGULATOR
PIC18FXXJXX devices have an internal core voltage
regulator. On these devices (“PIC18F” in the part num-
ber), the regulator is always enabled. The regulator
input is taken from the microcontroller VDD pins. The
output of the regulator is supplied to the VDDCORE/VCAP
pin. On these devices, this pin simultaneously serves
as both the regulator output and the microcontroller
core power input pin. For these devices, the
VDDCORE/VCAP pin should be tied to a capacitor and
nothing else.
PIC18LFXXJXX devices do not have an internal core
voltage regulator. On these devices (“PIC18LF” in the
part number), power must be externally supplied to
both VDD and VDDCORE/VCAP.
Whether or not the regulator is used, it is always good
design practice to have sufficient capacitance on all
The specifications for core voltage and capacitance are

Memory Maps
The PIC18F2XJXX/4XJXX family of devices offers
program memory sizes of 16, 32, 64 and 128 Kbytes.
The memory sizes for different members of the family
are shown in
Table 2-2. The overall memory maps for

PROGRAM MEMORY SIZES
FOR PIC18F2XJXX/4XJXX
FAMILY DEVICES
For purposes of code protection, the program memory
for every device is treated as a single block. Enabling
code protection, thus protects the entire code memory,
and not individual segments.
