PROGRAMMING ALGORITHM FOR
FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
The user can program one row of Flash program
memory at a time by erasing the programmable row.
The general process is as follows:
1. Read a row of program memory (32 instructions)
and store in data RAM.
2. Update the program data in RAM with the
desired new data.
3. Erase a row (see Example 5-1):
a) Set the NVMOP bits (NVMCON<5:0>) to
‘011000’ to configure for row erase. Set the
ERASE (NVMCON<6>) and WREN
(NVMCON<14>) bits.
b) Write the starting address of the block to be
erased into the TBLPAG and W registers.
c) Write 55h to NVMKEY.
d) Write AAh to NVMKEY.
e) Set the WR bit (NVMCON<15>). The erase
cycle begins and the CPU stalls for the
duration of the erase cycle. When the erase is
done, the WR bit is cleared automatically.
4. Write the first 32 instructions from data RAM into
the program memory buffers (see Example 5-1).
5. Write the program block to Flash memory:
a) Set the NVMOP bits to ‘000100’ to
configure for row programming. Clear the
ERASE bit and set the WREN bit.
b) Write 55h to NVMKEY.
c) Write AAh to NVMKEY.
d) Set the WR bit. The programming cycle
begins and the CPU stalls for the duration of
the write cycle. When the write to Flash
memory is done, the WR bit is cleared
automatically.
For protection against accidental operations, the write
initiate sequence for NVMKEY must be used to allow
any erase or program operation to proceed. After the
programming command has been executed, the user
must wait for the programming time until programming
is complete. The two instructions following the start of
the programming sequence should be NOPs, as shown
in Example 5-5.
