Advance Information

6.2.2

TABLAT – TABLE LATCH REGISTER

The Table Latch (TABLAT) is an 8-bit register mapped

into the SFR space. The Table Latch register is used to

hold 8-bit data during data transfers between program

memory and data RAM.

6.2.3

TBLPTR – TABLE POINTER

The Table Pointer (TBLPTR) register addresses a byte

within the program memory. The TBLPTR is comprised

of three SFR registers: Table Pointer Upper Byte, Table

Pointer High Byte and Table Pointer Low Byte

(TBLPTRU:TBLPTRH:TBLPTRL).

These

three

registers join to form a 22-bit wide pointer. The low-

order 21 bits allow the device to address up to 2 Mbytes

of program memory space. The 22nd bit allows access

to the device ID, the user ID and the Configuration bits.

The Table Pointer register, TBLPTR, is used by the

TBLRD

and TBLWT instructions. These instructions can

update the TBLPTR in one of four ways based on the

table operation. These operations are shown in

Table 6-1. These operations on the TBLPTR only affect

the low-order 21 bits.

6.2.4

TABLE POINTER BOUNDARIES

TBLPTR is used in reads, writes and erases of the

Flash program memory.

When a TBLRD is executed, all 22 bits of the TBLPTR

determine which byte is read from program memory

into TABLAT.

When a TBLWT is executed, the three LSbs of the Table

Pointer register (TBLPTR<2:0>) determine which of the

8 program memory holding registers is written to. When

the timed write to program memory begins (via the WR

bit), the 19 MSbs of the TBLPTR (TBLPTR<21:3>)

determine which program memory block of 8 bytes is

written to. For more detail, see Section 6.5 “Writing to

Flash Program Memory”.

When an erase of program memory is executed, the

16 MSbs of the Table Pointer register (TBLPTR<21:6>)

point to the 64-byte block that will be erased. The Least

Significant bits (TBLPTR<5:0>) are ignored.

Figure 6-3 describes the relevant boundaries of

TBLPTR based on Flash program memory operations.
