Program Verification and

Code Protection

The overall structure of the code protection on the

PIC18 Flash devices differs significantly from other

PIC® devices.

The user program memory is divided into five blocks.

One of these is a boot block of 2 Kbytes. The remainder

of the memory is divided into four blocks on binary

boundaries.

Each of the five blocks has three code protection bits

associated with them. They are:

• Code-Protect bit (CPn)

• Write-Protect bit (WRTn)

• External Block Table Read bit (EBTRn)

Figure 25-5 shows the program memory organization

for 24 and 32-Kbyte devices and the specific code

protection bit associated with each block. The actual

locations of the bits are summarized in Table 25-3.
