8.2.2

TABLAT – TABLE LATCH REGISTER

The Table Latch (TABLAT) is an 8-bit register mapped

into the SFR space. The Table Latch is used to hold

8-bit data during data transfers between program

memory and data RAM.

8.2.3

TBLPTR – TABLE POINTER

The Table Pointer (TBLPTR) addresses a byte within

the program memory. The TBLPTR is comprised of

three SFR registers: Table Pointer Upper Byte, Table

Pointer High Byte and Table Pointer Low Byte

(TBLPTRU:TBLPTRH:TBLPTRL). These three regis-

ters join to form a 22-bit wide pointer. The low-order

21 bits allow the device to address up to 2 Mbytes of

program memory space. Setting the 22nd bit allows

access to the Device ID, the User ID and the

Configuration bits.

The TBLPTR is used by the TBLRD and TBLWT instruc-

tions. These instructions can update the TBLPTR in

one of four ways based on the table operation. These

operations are shown in Table 8-1. These operations

on the TBLPTR only affect the low-order 21 bits.

8.2.4

TABLE POINTER BOUNDARIES

TBLPTR is used in reads, writes and erases of the

Flash program memory.

When a TBLRD is executed, all 22 bits of the Table

Pointer determine which byte is read from program or

configuration memory into TABLAT.

When a TBLWT is executed, the three LSbs of the Table

Pointer (TBLPTR<2:0>) determine which of the eight

program memory holding registers is written to. When

the timed write to program memory (long write) begins,

the 19 MSbs of the Table Pointer, TBLPTR

(TBLPTR<21:3>), will determine which program

memory block of 8 bytes is written to (TBLPTR<2:0>

are ignored). For more detail, see Section 8.5

“Writing to Flash Program Memory”

When an erase of program memory is executed, the

16 MSbs of the Table Pointer (TBLPTR<21:6>) point to

the 64-byte block that will be erased. The Least

Significant bits (TBLPTR<5:0>) are ignored.

Figure 8-3 describes the relevant boundaries of

TBLPTR based on Flash program memory operations.
