7.3

Reading the Data EEPROM

Memory

To read a data memory location, the user must write the

address to the EEADR register, clear the EEPGD

control bit (EECON1<7>) and then set control bit, RD

(EECON1<0>). The data is available on the very next

instruction cycle; therefore, the EEDATA register can

be read by the next instruction. EEDATA will hold this

value until another read operation, or until it is written to

by the user (during a write operation).

The basic process is shown in Example 7-1.

7.4

Writing to the Data EEPROM

Memory

To write an EEPROM data location, the address must

first be written to the EEADR register and the data

written to the EEDATA register. The sequence in

Example 7-2 must be followed to initiate the write cycle.

The write will not begin if this sequence is not exactly

followed (write 55h to EECON2, write 0AAh to

EECON2, then set WR bit) for each byte. It is strongly

recommended that interrupts be disabled during this

code segment.

Additionally, the WREN bit in EECON1 must be set to

enable writes. This mechanism prevents accidental

writes to data EEPROM due to unexpected code exe-

cution (i.e., runaway programs). The WREN bit should

be kept clear at all times, except when updating the

EEPROM. The WREN bit is not cleared by hardware.

After a write sequence has been initiated, EECON1,

EEADR and EEDATA cannot be modified. The WR bit

will be inhibited from being set unless the WREN bit is

set. The WREN bit must be set on a previous instruc-

tion. Both WR and WREN cannot be set with the same

instruction.

At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is

cleared in hardware and the EEPROM Interrupt Flag bit

(EEIF) is set. The user may either enable this interrupt,

or poll this bit. EEIF must be cleared by software.

7.5

Write Verify

Depending on the application, good programming

practice may dictate that the value written to the mem-

ory should be verified against the original value. This

should be used in applications where excessive writes

can stress bits near the specification limit.
