PIC24FJ128GC010 FAMILY
4.1.1
PROGRAM MEMORY
ORGANIZATION
The program memory space is organized in
word-addressable blocks. Although it is treated as
24 bits wide, it is more appropriate to think of each
address of the program memory as a lower and upper
word, with the upper byte of the upper word being
unimplemented. The lower word always has an even
address, while the upper word has an odd address
(Figure 4-2).
Program memory addresses are always word-aligned
on the lower word and addresses are incremented or
decremented by two during code execution. This
arrangement also provides compatibility with data
memory space addressing and makes it possible to
access data in the program memory space.
4.1.2 HARD MEMORY VECTORS
All PIC24F devices reserve the addresses between
000000h and 000200h for hard-coded program execu-
tion vectors. A hardware Reset vector is provided to
redirect code execution from the default value of the
PC on device Reset to the actual start of code. A GOTO
instruction is programmed by the user at 000000h with
the actual address for the start of code at 000002h.
PIC24F devices also have two Interrupt Vector Tables
(IVTs), located from 000004h to 0000FFh and 000100h
to 0001FFh. These vector tables allow each of the
many device interrupt sources to be handled by sepa-
rate ISRs. A more detailed discussion of the Interrupt
Vector Tables is provided in Section 8.1 “Interrupt
Vector Table”.
4.1.3 FLASH CONFIGURATION WORDS
In PIC24FJ128GC010 family devices, the top four words
of on-chip program memory are reserved for configura-
tion information. On device Reset, the configuration
information is copied into the appropriate Configuration
register. The addresses of the Flash Configuration Word
for devices in the PIC24FJ128GC010 family are shown
in Table 4-1. Their location in the memory map is shown
with the other memory vectors in Figure 4-1.
The Configuration Words in program memory are a
compact format. The actual Configuration bits are
mapped in several different registers in the configuration
memory space. Their order in the Flash Configuration
Words does not reflect a corresponding arrangement in
the configuration space. Additional details on the device
Configuration Words are provided in Section 34.0
“Special Features”.
