DATA ACCESS FROM PROGRAM

MEMORY USING TABLE

INSTRUCTIONS

The TBLRDL and TBLWTL instructions offer a direct

method of reading or writing the lower word of any

address within the program space without going through

Data Space. The TBLRDH and TBLWTH instructions are

the only method to read or write the upper eight bits of a

program space word as data.

The PC is incremented by two for each successive

24-bit program word. This allows program memory

addresses to directly map to Data Space addresses.

Program memory can thus be regarded as two, 16-bit

word-wide address spaces, residing side by side, each

with the same address range. TBLRDL and TBLWTL

access the space which contains the least significant

data word, and TBLRDH and TBLWTH access the space

which contains the upper data byte.

Two table instructions are provided to move byte or

word-sized (16-bit) data to and from program space.

Both function as either byte or word operations.

TBLRDL (Table Read Low): In Word mode, it

maps the lower word of the program space

location (P[15:0]) to a data address (D[15:0]).

In Byte mode, either the upper or lower byte of

the lower program word is mapped to the lower

byte of a data address. The upper byte is

selected when byte select is ‘1’; the lower byte

is selected when it is ‘0’.

TBLRDH (Table Read High): In Word mode, it

maps the entire upper word of a program address

(P[23:16]) to a data address. Note that D[15:8],

the ‘phantom’ byte, will always be ‘0’.

In Byte mode, it maps the upper or lower byte of

the program word to D[7:0] of the data address,

as above. Note that the data will always be ‘0’

when the upper ‘phantom’ byte is selected (byte

select = 1).

In a similar fashion, two table instructions, TBLWTH

and TBLWTL, are used to write individual bytes or

words to a program space address. The details of

their operation are described in Section 6.0 “Flash

Program Memory”.

For all table operations, the area of program memory

space to be accessed is determined by the Table

Memory Page Address (TBLPAG) register. TBLPAG

covers the entire program memory space of the

device, including user and configuration spaces. When

TBLPAG[7] = 0, the table page is located in the user

memory space. When TBLPAG[7] = 1, the page is

located in configuration space.

Only Table Read operations will execute

in the configuration memory space where

Device IDs are located. Table Write

operations are not allowed.

The address for the table operation is determined by the data EA

within the page defined by the TBLPAG register.

Only read operations are shown; write operations are also valid in

the user memory area.
