7.3 Reading the FLASH Program
Memory
To read a program memory location, the user must
write two bytes of the address to the PMADRL and
PMADRH registers and then set control bit, RD
(PMCON1<0>). Once the read control bit is set, the
program memory FLASH controller will use the second
instruction cycle after to read the data. This causes the
second instruction immediately following the “BSF
PMCON1,RD” instruction to be ignored. The data is
available in the very next cycle in the PMDATL and
PMDATH registers; therefore, it can be read as two
bytes in the following instructions. PMDATL and
PMDATH registers will hold this value until another
read, or until it is written to by the user (during a write
operation).
7.4 Operation During Code Protect
The FLASH program memory control can read any-
where within the program memory, whether or not the
program memory is code protected.
This does not compromise the code, because there is
no way to rewrite a portion of the program memory, or
leave contents of a program memory read in a register
while changing modes.
