PIC16F872
and then set control bit WR (EECON1<1>). The
sequence in Example 4-4 must be followed to initiate a
write to program memory.
4.6
Writing to the FLASH Program
Memory
When the PIC16F872 is fully code protected or not
code protected, a word of the FLASH program memory
may be written provided the WRT configuration bit is
set. If the PIC16F872 is partially code protected, then a
word of FLASH program memory may be written if the
word is in a non-code protected segment of memory
and the WRT configuration bit is set. To write a FLASH
program location, the first two bytes of the address
must be written to the EEADR and EEADRH registers
and two bytes of the data to the EEDATA and EEDATH
registers, set the EEPGD control bit (EECON1<7>),
The microcontroller will then halt internal operations
during the next two instruction cycles for the TPEW
(parameter D133) in which the write takes place. This
is not SLEEP mode, as the clocks and peripherals will
continue to run. Therefore, the two instructions follow-
ing the “BSF EECON, WR” should be NOPinstructions.
After the write cycle, the microcontroller will resume
operation with the 3rd instruction after the EECON1
write instruction.
