READING PROGRAM MEMORY

The Flash program memory is readable during normal

operation over the entire VDD range. It is indirectly

addressed through Special Function Registers (SFR).

Up to 14-bit numbers can be stored in memory for use

as calibration parameters, serial numbers, packed 7-bit

ASCII, etc. Executing a program memory location

containing data that forms an invalid instruction results

in a NOP.

There are five SFRs used to read the program and

memory. These registers are:

•PMCON1

•PMDATA

•PMDATH

•PMADR

• PMADRH

The program memory allows word reads. Program

memory access allows for checksum calculation and

reading calibration tables.

When interfacing to the program memory block, the

PMDATH:PMDATA registers form a two-byte word

which

holds

the

14-bit

data

for

reads.

The

PMADRH:PMADR registers form a two-byte word

which holds the 13-bit address of the Flash location

being accessed. These devices can have up to

8K words of program Flash, with an address range

from 0h to 3FFFh. The unused upper bits in both the

PMDATH and PMADRH registers are not implemented

and read as ‘0’s.

3.1

PMADR

The address registers can address up to a maximum of

8K words of program Flash.

When selecting a program address value, the MSB of

the address is written to the PMADRH register and the

LSB is written to the PMADR register. The upper Most

Significant bits of PMADRH must always be clear.

3.2

PMCON1 Register

PMCON1 is the control register for memory accesses.

The control bit, RD, initiates read operations. This bit

cannot be cleared, only set, in software. It is cleared in

hardware at the completion of the read operation.

in software.

Legend:

R = Readable bit

W = Writable bit

U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’

-n = Value at POR

‘1’ = Bit is set

‘0’ = Bit is cleared

x = Bit is unknown
