Time-out Reset during normal operation. In these situ-
ations, users can check the WRERR bit and rewrite the
location.
5.5.2
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.
5.5.4
PROTECTION AGAINST SPURIOUS
WRITES
To protect against spurious writes to FLASH program
memory, the write initiate sequence must also be fol-
lowed. See “Special Features of the CPU”
(Section 23.0) for more detail.
5.5.3
UNEXPECTED TERMINATION OF
WRITE OPERATION
If a write is terminated by an unplanned event, such as
loss of power or an unexpected RESET, the memory
location just programmed should be verified and repro-
grammed if needed.The WRERR bit is set when a write
operation is interrupted by a MCLR Reset, or a WDT

FLASH Program Operation During
Code Protection
See “Special Features of the CPU” (Section 23.0) for
details on code protection of FLASH program memory.
