Interfacing Program and Data

Memory Spaces

The dsPIC33FJ06GS101/X02 and dsPIC33FJ16GSX02/

X04 architecture uses a 24-bit-wide program space and a

16-bit-wide data space. The architecture is also a modi-

fied Harvard scheme, meaning that data can also be

present in the program space. To use this data success-

fully, it must be accessed in a way that preserves the

alignment of information in both spaces.

Aside from normal execution, the dsPIC33FJ06GS101/

X02

and

dsPIC33FJ16GSX02/X04

architecture

provides two methods by which program space can be

accessed during operation:

• Using table instructions to access individual bytes

or words anywhere in the program space

• Remapping a portion of the program space into

the data space (Program Space Visibility)

Table instructions allow an application to read or write

to small areas of the program memory. This capability

makes the method ideal for accessing data tables that

need to be updated periodically. It also allows access

to all bytes of the program word. The remapping

method allows an application to access a large block of

data on a read-only basis, which is ideal for look ups

from a large table of static data. The application can

only access the least significant word of the program

word.

4.6.1

ADDRESSING PROGRAM SPACE

Since the address ranges for the data and program

spaces are 16 and 24 bits, respectively, a method is

needed to create a 23-bit or 24-bit program address

from 16-bit data registers. The solution depends on the

interface method to be used.

For table operations, the 8-bit Table Page register

(TBLPAG) is used to define a 32K word region within

the program space. This is concatenated with a 16-bit

EA to arrive at a full 24-bit program space address. In

this format, the Most Significant bit of TBLPAG is used

to determine if the operation occurs in the user memory

(TBLPAG<7> = 0) or the configuration memory

(TBLPAG<7> = 1).

For remapping operations, the 8-bit Program Space

Visibility Register (PSVPAG) is used to define a

16K word page in the program space. When the Most

Significant bit of the EA is ‘1’, PSVPAG is concatenated

with the lower 15 bits of the EA to form a 23-bit program

space address. Unlike table operations, this limits

remapping operations strictly to the user memory area.

Table 4-50 and Figure 4-9 show how the program EA is

created for table operations and remapping accesses

from the data EA. Here, P<23:0> refers to a program

space word, and D<15:0> refers to a data space word.

Note 1:

Data EA<15> is always ‘1’ in this case, but is not used in calculating the program space address. Bit 15 of

the address is PSVPAG<0>.
