11.4 Modifying Flash Program Memory
When modifying existing data in a program memory
row, and data within that row must be preserved, it must
first be read and saved in a RAM image. Program
memory is modified using the following steps:
1. Load the starting address of the row to be mod-
ified.
2. Read the existing data from the row into a RAM
image.
3. Modify the RAM image to contain the new data
to be written into program memory.
4. Load the starting address of the row to be rewrit-
ten.
5. Erase the program memory row.
6. Load the write latches with data from the RAM
image.
7. Initiate a programming operation.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 as many times as required
to reprogram the erased row.
11.5 User ID, Device ID and
Configuration Word Access
Instead of accessing program memory or EEPROM
data memory, the User ID’s, Device ID/Revision ID and
Configuration Words can be accessed when CFGS = 1
in the EECON1 register. This is the region that would
be pointed to by PC<15> = 1, but not all addresses are
accessible. Different access may exist for reads and
writes. Refer to Table 11-2.
When read access is initiated on an address outside the
parameters listed in Table 11-2, the EEDATH:EEDATL
register pair is cleared.
