PROGRAM MEMORY

CODE PROTECTION

The user memory may be read to or written from any

location using the Table Read and Table Write instruc-

tions. The device ID may be read with Table Reads.

The configuration registers may be read and written

with the Table Read and Table Write instructions.

In User mode, the CPn bits have no direct effect. CPn

bits inhibit external reads and writes. A block of user

memory may be protected from Table Writes if the

WRTn configuration bit is ‘0’. The EBTRn bits control

Table Reads. For a block of user memory with the

EBTRn bit set to ‘0’, a Table Read instruction that

executes from within that block is allowed to read. A

Table Read instruction that executes from a location

outside of that block is not allowed to read, and will

result in reading ‘0’s. Figures 19-4 through 19-6

illustrate Table Write and Table Read protection.

FIGURE 19-4:

TABLE WRITE (WRTn) DISALLOWED

Note:

Code protection bits may only be written to

a ‘0’ from a ‘1’ state. It is not possible to

write a ‘1’ to a bit in the ‘0’ state. Code pro-

tection bits are only set to ‘1’ by a full chip

erase or block erase function. The full chip

erase and block erase functions can only

be initiated via ICSP or an external

programmer.
